HAL Hires Interior Designers for Its Pinnacle Class

Holland America Line has selected two leading firms to create the interior spaces of the line’s new 99,000-ton ship that is slated for delivery in February 2016. The first in a new Pinnacle Class of vessel, the ship will showcase decors by designer Adam D. Tihany and designer and architect Bjorn Storbraaten.

Tihany will join Storbraaten, who successfully worked with Holland America Line on ms Eurodam and ms Nieuw Amsterdam, in designing the ship’s public rooms.

“My team is eager to work on this unique project and we’re thrilled to be able to merge our vision and aesthetic with Holland America Line’s distinct style,” said Tihany.

“We are fortunate to bring together such distinguished professionals for our next-generation ship,” said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs for Holland America Line. “The ambience of a ship is an essential part of the cruise experience and we are confident that Adam, Bjorn and their teams of experienced designers and architects will strike the right balance between contemporary and traditional that is the hallmark of the interiors of Holland America Line ships.”

“I look forward to continuing the partnership with Holland America Line and working on this exciting new class of ship that opens the door to additional opportunities onboard,” Storbraaten pointed out.

The new ship will feature exciting new public areas and dining venues, as well as a stunning onboard ambiance created in partnership with these two leading firms. Several new concepts are under development that have never been seen before on a Holland America Line ship, and as they evolve more details will be revealed.
