Crow's Nest (218 seats) is a fore-located observation lounge with panoramic windows, its own bar and large dance floor. The lounge is also used for pre-scheduled events by the Holland America Line's enrichment program, which includes daily dance classes, trivia games, cards playing, karaoke, HAL Cats (8-piece party band) performances, live grand piano performances (in the afternoons and evenings). Crow's Nest becomes a disco (dance club) at night, with live DJ music and dance contests. During MS Amsterdam ship's last refurbishment, Crow's Nest Lounge was renamed "Explorations Central" and its interior was redesigned. The new venue's programming additionally features a multimedia series of interactive videos and guides related to the visited destinations part of cruise ship's itinerary program. The new Explorations Central (abbrev EXC) provides digital media (videos, ebooks, maps) which passengers can access via Wi-Fi during the current cruise, but also online (before and after the voyage). At the Explorations Central there are also paperback books and paper maps for all the visited destinations and call ports.
