SEATTLE, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Before the champagne bottle shatters
against the bow in July, curious cruisers can tour the Eurodam at a
dedicated site accessed from Holland America Line's redesigned website,
http://www.hollandamerica.com. Videos, photographs, animation and renderings
breathe life into a virtual tour of a ship yet to sail the seas.
"We created the Eurodam site to showcase the new design and concept of the
Signature class ships," said Richard D. Meadows, CTC, executive vice
president, marketing, sales, and guest programs. "We are proud of the
evolution of our ships, and we are pleased to share as many details as
possible with our loyal guests who are very curious to see what awaits."
An invitation to explore the Eurodam greets visitors to the site. A
rendering comes alive with animation and a fly-over shot gives a 360-degree
view of the ship. Stateroom renderings show the contemporary, mono-chromatic
design accented with bursts of color, a departure from the line's usual
floral schemes.
Content on the site is arranged around Holland America Line's five brand
pillars essential to the guest experience -- elegant ships and
accommodations, sophisticated dining, gracious service, extensive
activities, compelling itineraries.
Eurodam ship renderings and animation are used in combination with photos
and narrated videos from other Holland America Line ships to give visitors
an idea of what it will be like to set sail aboard the 2,104-guest Eurodam.
Links at the bottom of the site connect visitors to the Find Cruises tool on
Holland America Line's website, links to the Eurodam blog, or enable
visitors to share the site with a friend via email.
"This powerful content provides another avenue for experiencing the ship's
new design concepts," said Meadows. "We hope it piques interest to book a
cruise on the Eurodam's upcoming European, Canada/New England or Caribbean
itineraries."
The Eurodam sets sail on a three-day prelude cruise July 2, 2008, prior to
the maiden voyage from Copenhagen on July 5.
