MS Thomson Celebration is owned by Holland America Line, under long-term charter to the United Kingdom-based Thomson Cruises.

She was built in 1984 as MS Noordam at a cost of $160million, and was the third Holland America Line vessel to bear that name.

In 2005, the ship was taken out of service with Holland America, chartered to Thomson Cruises and renamed Thomson Celebration.

She received a refurbishment in December of 2013 including 20 cabins with balconies on Deck 9, and the installation of The Coffee Port and Explorers' Lounge on Deck 5.
