About De Lijn Gin
Gin has been an anchor in Holland America Line’s history dating back to the company’s inception. In celebration of our 150th anniversary, guests can enjoy an exclusive label of the spirit on board. Affectionately named De Lijn as a nod to Holland America Line’s roots, the bottle is adorned with a label boasting the name in Dutch orange. It’s accented with line drawings of brilliant blue juniper berries in a style the cruise line has coined as Modern Delft, an homage to iconic blue and white of Dutch Delftware.
De Lijn Gin is made with a blend of Dutch inspired botanicals, including orange and rose, along with elderberry, lemon verbena, lemon, raspberry and juniper. Each botanical is cold distilled separately for distinct and consistent flavors. The result is a premium gin, made in America, inspired by the Netherlands, and specially crafted for Holland America Line.
De Lijn is available in all bars and lounges fleetwide. You can also purchase in shipboard shops.
Re: De Lijn Gin
This was not available for purchase in the shipboard shop (Nieuw Statendam) during my voyage 3/31/2024-04/07/2024. Is there any other way to purchase this and what is the price?
Hi Jeanmarie, unfortunately the only way to enjoy De Lijn gin in on board in the bars. We apologize for any disappointment.
