Holland America Line has held the steel cutting ceremony for its third Pinnacle-class ship.

The 2,662-guest ship, due for delivery in May 2021, is being built by Fincantieri’s at its Marghera shipyard in Italy.

“The steel cutting is always an exciting milestone in the construction process because from here the ship quickly takes shape and we, along with our loyal guests and travel partners, begin counting the days until the first cruise,” said HAL president Orlando Ashford.

“The Pinnacle class has been a resounding success and we look forward to welcoming the third in the series to our fleet, joining sister ships Koningsdam and the recently launched Nieuw Statendam.”

The new ship will include popular Pinnacle Class innovations such as Rudi’s Sel de Mer, B.B. King’s Blues Club, Billboard Onboard and the new Rolling Stone Rock Room.

It will also feature wrap-around teak decks, luxurious staterooms, artwork collections and award-winning cuisine ranging from casual to fine dining.

The ship will join the Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam in the Pinnacle class.

Nieuw Statendam was officially named by Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.
