MS Oosterdam is a Vista Class-class ship launched in 2003, tied for #7 in the Holland America fleet by size, with 11 passenger decks and fresh from an April 2025 refurbishment that brought new hot tubs and teak decking to the Sea View Pool, an aft retreat reserved for adults. Evenings revolve around deck 2, where the World Stage wraps its shows in LED screens and Billboard Onboard sits nearby with sing-along piano sets. Midships, BB Kings Blues Club serves up Memphis blues near the Casino and the steak and seafood house Pinnacle Grill, while Lincoln Center Stage offers chamber music aft. Up top, the family-friendly Lido Pool sits beneath the Sliding Dome Cover, with Canaletto serving shared Italian plates close by. Younger travelers have Club Hal, and the Sports Courts add mini-golf.

With five sea days on this sailing, there's time for Ocean Bar, Sports Courts and Club Hal.
