Holland
America Line
MV
Prinses Margriet
Deck
Plan
If you have arrived at this page via a search
engine, you might wish to visit the MV Prinses Margriet Main Page first and
discover this delightful ship and her history with her original
owner the Oranje Line, then Holland America Line, and she was
then sold, tragically, to Nauru, being a tiny Island nation in
the Pacific, which this luxury ship went into ruins! Her Main
Page contains countless full colour and black and white
photographs!
This page covers MV Prinses Margriets
Deck Plans as well as the black and white photographs of some of
her public venues. This plan was released by Holland America
Line, as the ship had first been chartered by them in 1964 from
her owner, the Oranje Line and soon thereafter they purchased her
outright in order to operate her together with the MV Westerdam
on the Rotterdam, New York service.
Enjoy!
