Keel-Laying Ceremony Marks Milestone in Construction of Holland America Line’s ms Eurodam

Seattle, March 27, 2007– Construction of Holland America Line’s new Signature-class premium cruise ship ms Eurodam reached a milestone with the recent keel-laying ceremony at the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard in Italy. The 2044-passenger ship is scheduled for delivery in June 2008. The ceremonial keel laying involves lowering the first modular section of the ship onto the construction dock. Subsequently, other modules are put into place, much like fitting together a giant, multi-layered jigsaw puzzle. The $450-million Eurodam, with 11 passenger decks, features a new class of staterooms with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top two decks, as well as many traditional Holland America Line amenities.

I too hope it's ready on time.

We have a lot of friends that have booked that inaugural cruise including, I believe, a very special Copper and his DW Maria!!
