ms Oosterdam deck plans

MS Oosterdam (2003-built, last refurbished in 2018 March) is the second of all four Vista-classHolland America ships - with sisterships the fleetmates ms Noordam, ms Westerdam, ms Zuiderdam, and also the P&O ship Arcadia. The Oosterdam ship’s name signifies the Eastern point of the compass in Dutch.

Oosterdam cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1012 staterooms for 2024 passengers (max capacity is 2429) served by 820 crew-staff. The boat has 11 passenger decks (7 with cabins), 13 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools (one with retractable glass roof), 5 outdoor Jacuzzis, 14 elevators (4 are scenic/with glass walls).

In 2016, Holland America Line updated MS Oosterdam’s shipboard programming (enrichment, entertainment and children) replacing the old “Dancing With the Stars” with “BBC Earth” content.

• The ship’s theatre hosts daily expert lectures, presentations, a nature-themed game show with BBC Earth screenings and introductions by the crews that filmed these series. A signature concert in the evenings is based on the “Frozen Planet” program (polar regions-themed) – a spectacular multimedia show with live musicians.
• The ship’s children club facilities feature an explorer trail, workshops (including on journalism and filming), fact shows (animals, dinosaurs).
• Holland America themed cruises feature access to the BBC Earth series creators, sharing behind-the-scenes media and stories. Children have the opportunity to participate in filming workshops.
