Oosterdam

As with everything on Oosterdam, there is such a huge variety of dining options available that guests will be quite literally spoilt for choice. Whether a five course meal or more casual light bite is desired, there are facilities on board to cater for any taste experience. On top of the private dining options in stateroom verandas, guests can head to the The Dining Room; several times during the course of each cruise a formal dress-up dinner is held, so make sure to bring cocktail dresses and dinner jackets!

The Lido Market offers a slightly more laid back and light option, and lovers of steak should make a beeline for the Pinnacle Grill which provides a variety of dishes cooked to the guest’s liking. There is also a Culinary Arts Centre on board which, along with cooking and serving delicious meals, allows guests to observe the excellent chefs aboard Oosterdam prepare a number of gourmet dishes. They can even have a go themselves during an intimate cooking class.

One thing is for sure – guests travelling on Oosterdam will never have a dull moment, as there is so much to see and do even when not at port! Along with the spa and salon, Oosterdam boasts two large pools, a steam room and aromatic room and even a hydrotherapy pool to ensure that guests have the most relaxing experience possible. Those seeking to improve their fitness levels can head to the fitness centre, or alternatively play a round of tennis, basketball or volleyball on one of the game courts.

At night, dazzling Las Vegas style shows, vocalists, illusionists and comedians take to the stage to entertain adoring audiences. Other guests may prefer the casino or piano bar.

There is even more in the way of daytime entertainment opportunities onboard since the introduction of Holland America Line's EXC (Explorations Central). This concept enables guests to truly get to know all their ports of call, by attending Q&A sessions with expert guides, taking part in cultural classes, exploring the interactive port maps, and embracing the many other options.
