Welcome to Holland America's Oosterdam, the second of the spacious Vista-class ships. Named for the "east" position of the compass, the Oosterdam will be directed toward the future of cruising when she debuts in Europe in the summer of 2003. Two-thirds of the staterooms have private verandahs. Dining choices range from Japanese teriyaki and fresh pasta to wood-fired pizza and multi-course gourmet dinners. Pamper yourself at the state-of-the-art Ocean Spa with its own couples treatment room. Ride an elevator with an ocean view. Go swimming. Play basketball, golf, or tennis. Then dance all night on an iceberg in the cool, arctic Northern Lights Nightclub.
