Introducing the ms Oosterdam (pronounced OH-ster-dam), second member of the grand Vista-class ships defining the future of cruising. Oosterdam dazzles guests with more of everything they desire in a cruise vacation: More staterooms with verandahs for private sunning, dining and relaxing. More dining choices including an intimate reservations-only restaurant. More ways to relax in The Greenhouse Spa and Salon, largest and most luxurious spa in our fleet.

Please note that this is Holland America Line's MS Oosterdam and it is simply breathtaking. There is not another ship like it in the world. She is more of a beautiful, vintage hotel. As nice as the ship is, you will be treated to a most exciting itinerary. Here's an idea. If you are planning that Perfect Vacation, consider using this remarkable stateroom and have other friends or relatives booked into other cabins on the same cruise. Other accommodations are available at Tremendous Savings.

DINING

Holland America Line serves incomparable cuisine in a variety of wonderful ways – from bountiful buffets and dress-up dinners to hors d'oeuvres on your verandah and a picnic on the beach.

We offer the most extensive menus at sea (with more than 500 different food items on a typical 7-day cruise), blending together modern Continental cuisine, regional specialties appropriate to each cruising area and traditional favorites. Our chefs are all members of the prestigious Confrerie de la Chaine des Rotisseurs gourmet society.

Yes, your mouth will water at the aroma of so many delicious options. But your other senses will delight as well – fine dining has always been the rule on our ships with signature touches like Rosenthal china, starched linens, silver and fresh flowers to enhance your meal.

With so many tastes to tempt you and venues to enjoy, you're sure to experience the many pleasures world-class dining can offer.

In addition to breakfast, lunch and a five-course dinner, you can enjoy: afternoon tea; a stirfry or pasta buffet; an ice cream bar; hot hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hours; an evening espresso or cappuccino; and the traditional late-night snack (one of which will be our Dutch Chocolate Extravaganza). Or, try the Terrace Grill, located outside, featuring hamburgers and hot dogs as well as a taco bar and a daily special. And, of course, complimentary room service is available 24 hours a day. Casual dining is available in the Lido Restaurant every night.
