The Zuiderdam will homeport in Amsterdam with sailings complementing the current offerings on the Nieuw Statendam and the Rotterdam, which both sail from the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Zuiderdam will also offer departures from Reykjavik, Iceland.

Hotels Escalate Long-Running Battle Against Booking.com's Pricing Rules
What began as a German court case is rapidly becoming an effort by hotels across Europe to seek financial damages from for two decades of pricing practices. Hotels have complained about contract terms related to pricing for about two decades, but their long-running dispute has shifted to seeking financial compensation for the practice. This effort by hotels to win damages appears to be gaining momentum. Many trade groups last week said they backed legal claims against the online travel giant over its so-called rate parity clauses. These clauses typically prevented hotels from offering lower rates on their own websites or rival platforms than what they charged on The online travel company, based in Amsterdam, has long defended the clauses as necessary to its business model, though it dropped them last year in Europe.

Holland America Line pitches a relaxing Caribbean experience in new campaign
A new Holland America Line advertising campaign aims to differentiate its Caribbean cruises from competitors that sail mega-ships with amusement-park qualities. The campaign, "Refreshingly Free," tells cruisers what they won't find on Holland America sailings. "Refreshingly free of bland buffets," one ad reads. "Refreshingly free of amusement parks on board," another says. Holland America Line has found strength in its Alaska and Europe sailings and is now looking to bolster interest in the Caribbean, said chief marketing officer Kacy Cole. "I think we're not top of mind when you think about Caribbean," she said. "You don't think about Holland America or, candidly, the typical type of cruising that we do. And I think for us, it's really about how do we differentiate within each region?" The line crafted the campaign after surveying guests about what is most important to them on a Caribbean cruise. Exceptional service came in as the highest-ranked factor. During that same research process, some customers shared distaste for the experience aboard the largest cruise ships, recalling long lines and staff that could not keep up with demand due to the number of guests onboard, Cole said. "They are looking for service and relaxation and cultural enrichment," she said. The launch of the campaign accompanies the launch of fare discounts of up to 40% for certain sailings this fall and next spring. Those promotions, dubbed "Travel By Sea," run through the end of July.

ING CEO Says Capital Plan Could Slow Speed of Buyback
ING Groep NV Chief Executive Officer Steven van Rijswijk said he may slow the pace of share buybacks this year after increasing the amount of money he wants to keep in the bank as safety cushion.

Still, 'the rhythm as such hasn't changed, the direction hasn't changed,' he said.
