“Stepping aboard this meticulously preserved Holland-America Line flagship feels like entering a bygone era of sophisticated maritime travel. I found the retro-styled accommodations surprisingly comfortable, blending historical charm with modern amenities. The option of historical tours and engaging activities for children and adults makes it a standout destination for families seeking more than just a place to stay. While the location provides a unique experience, I would recommend it primarily to those wanting to immerse themselves in the ship's history.”
