On July 20, 2010, Zeeland received her first call from Holland America Line at the port of Vlissingen. The ms Prinsendam stayed a full day, from 09.30 till 22.30 at the Outerharbour, close to the city of Vlissingen.
The ship and passengers received a warm welcome by a traditional choir, all dressed in authentic, native clothing.
Ms Prinsendam carried 825 passengers and 420 crewmembers.
Free shuttle busses were offered to the cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen, and most passengers made use of this to visit, among other attractions, the historical sites of Middelburg and the beautiful boulevard of Vlissingen.
Passengers and the ship's Master were very enthusiastic about the stay of the vessel in Zeeland.
We look forward to welcome the next Holland America Line ship in our port!
