Holland America Line transported some 850,000 immigrants to the United States in its heyday as a Dutch transatlantic steamship company. Service between Rotterdam and New York ended in 1971, and today HAL is an American-owned "premium cruise line" with 11 ships that normally serve more than 600,000 guests per year.
