m/s "PRINSENDAM"
Holland America Line

In a previous life, m/s Prinsendam sailed under the name Seabourn Sun for Seabourn and before that as Royal Viking Sun. As part of the 2002 refit of M/S "Prinsendam" to become an Holland America Line vessel, Enterprise & Art is engaged to place new art in all refurbished locations.

The most conspicuous works placed in the Atrium are the relief-work glass column depicting sea otters and two curved glass panels depicting VOC vessels, made by the Bolaé artists collective of Miami (US).

The two enormous curved canvases depicting brightly colored tulip fields by Ton Dubbeldam, also placed in the Atrium, are genuine eye catchers as well. The new Deluxe cabins receive for the first time photography, in the form of a series of tulip portraits by Jasper Wiedeman.

Testimonial
Thomas Tillberg,
Tillberg Design U.S.
 
"From the early discussions concerning the scope of the artwork for QM2 it was quite evident that Erik Hermida and his associates would be able to handle it to the satisfaction of Cunard and its owner. Since then E&A have really put their heart into the project to ensure that the highest expectations of the passengers are met. To this end they are succeeding beautifully. Our U.S, office also had the pleasure to work with E&A on the refurbishment of seabourn Sun and her transformation into Prinsendam. I find Erik and his team to be creative and always a great help during the design process"
