"Holland America Line is a British/American-owned cruise line, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation. Originating in the Netherlands, the company is now based in Seattle, United States."

"From 1873 to 1989, it was a Dutch shipping line, a passenger line, a cargo line and a cruise line operating primarily between the Netherlands and North America. As part of this rich legacy, it was instrumental in the transport of many hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Netherlands to North America."  Wikipedia
