Holland America Line's fans of music will want to be prepared. Some of the line's musical offerings are being rearranged and eliminated completely on some ships.
The line's partnership with the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts will change first. It will change from a group of people on ships to a group on the road. The World Stage is the main theater on all vessels and is where the group will perform.
