HAL moving ships around in 2006

Amsterdam, Statendam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam getting new homes

Holland America Line’s Zuiderdam is giving up its traditional spot in the Caribbean for Alaska during summer 2006, and the Westerdam will move to Alaska from Europe, giving the line three Vista-class ships in Alaska and eight ships there overall.

In other 2006 deployment news, the Amsterdam will leave Alaska to sail in the Baltic region, and the Statendam will move to Australia and New Zealand for winter 2006.

The line’s world cruise, meanwhile, will include a call in Libya.
