Pinnacle Class comprises Koningsdam (2016), Nieuw Statendam (2018), and Rotterdam VII (2021). At roughly 99,500 GT and 2,650 double-occupancy guests, they are HAL's largest and newest ships and the platform on which the modern Holland America product has been built.
Signature spaces include Music Walk (a full-deck live-music complex with Lincoln Center Stage, B.B. King's Blues Club, and Rolling Stone Rock Room), World Stage (a two-deck LED-panel theatre with immersive 270-degree projection), and the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse. The class also introduced HAL's signature light-and-glass atrium design.
Deployment is split between Alaska (Vancouver base), Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and Caribbean. Rotterdam is HAL's flagship and typically operates the annual Grand World Voyage.
