Member Tips

These are some of the top tips from our members who have sailed on the Nieuw Statendam: 

Was wonderful. More upscale than the other ships I've cruised on. It was such a great experience, I hope to be able to travel again soon. Was concerned about Covid protocols, but masking and sanitizing worked well. - Mfoxie

This is a beautiful ship and our captain is wonderful. Very personable as was all the crew. Very clean ship! - bjszabo98

Enjoyed this beautiful ship and activities very much. Overall quieter vibe than some other cruise lines (no hairy chest contest at the pool or water slide and miniature golf) but I happen to like that for a change. Service staff is friendly and helpful. - smlri

The cruise line was excellent, the service and food were prime. The world stage shows were not that great. The music at night was excellent! No music during the day unless Classical performances. - pvo100
