Amazing World Cruises presents:
Holland America’s Rotterdam Cruise Ship – Coin Ceremony – October 1, 2020

In October 2020, we celebrated the coin ceremony—one of the most time-honored traditions in shipbuilding—to signals less than one year until Rotterdam’s delivery.

At the ceremony at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard in Italy, Mai Elmar, executive director of Cruise Port Rotterdam in the Netherlands, served as the ship’s madrina and participated in the festivities.

Dutch coins minted in 1872 to honor Holland America Line’s first Rotterdam were welded to the outside deck of the ship to bring good fortune, followed by a blessing by the shipyard chaplain. In attendance were Antonio Quintano, director of the Fincantieri Marghera Shipyard; Cyril Tatar, Holland America Group’s vice president of newbuilding services; and Nico Bleichrodt, vice president, international sales, for Holland America Line.

View exlusive photographs from the event and learn more about the coin ceremony tradition, as well as our strong connection to the Marghera shipyard.
