The ships where very different from each other. First and foremost different was size. The Rotterdam was over 14.000 grt bigger. But also the Rotterdam was build as National flagship she was the showcase of Dutch maritime engineering, interior design and modern art. The statendam how beautiful and elegant this vessel was a refined and improved design of the 1951/52 sister ships Maasdam and Ryndam.

We can't count. Look for another entry next week. Rotterdam V entered service just two years after Statendam IV, but was built at a different shipyard. According to my source, they were not referred to as sister ships. You’re right! We can’t count. Look for another entry next week.

Your original post with the Eurodam painting said a series of 4, and we've only seen the 3. I love the history lessons that are given with these. Was Statendam IV a sister to the Rotterdam V? They look VERY similar, with the exception of the stack. Keep up the great work guys! The Blog remains wonderful! (Any info on the Cabanas mentioned by Stein kruse at the SeaTrade convention?)
