Nieuw Statendam Granted Permission to Call at Grand Cayman
After 20 months of no cruise ships, the western Caribbean port of Grand Cayman has granted Holland America’s Nieuw Statendam permission to call to the island on December 28, 2021 — with restrictions.
Though not part of the island’s phase 4 reopening, Tourism Minister Kenneth Bryan made it official on Wednesday by putting the ship on a conditional visiting agreement. Bryan closed his statement by thanking Holland America for being an excellent cruise partner and leading the way to reopen Grand Cayman to cruise ships.
Grand Cayman closed its border to visitors on March 16, 2020.
