SEATTLE — Holland America Line has opened bookings for Oosterdam’s first collection of voyages following its debut as the inaugural ship to undergo Holland America Evolution, the cruise line’s largest fleet investment in its 153‑year history.
The new sailings span eight itineraries and 15 departure dates, in Europe, the Caribbean and North America.
Oosterdam’s return to service marks the first chapter of Holland America Evolution, a multiyear modernization designed to bring the best of the fleet’s Pinnacle Class to more ships, brings new stateroom and suite categories to Oosterdam, while expanding access to signature venues.
For the first time solo travellers will have purpose-built Solo Verandahs offering a private balcony and dedicated workspace. The Solo Verandahs are on decks 8 and 11.
Newly introduced Bridgeview Suites feature sweeping ocean views, panoramic windows and expansive living space. Vista Suites have also debuted on Oosterdam. Guests can also book the reimagined Pinnacle Suite, offering 1,550 square feet of refined living space with scenic views and a private balcony. There’s also a separate living room, powder room, bedroom, ensuite bath and walk-in closet.
As part of its Evolution enhancements, Oosterdam also welcomes Grand Dutch Café, extending one of Holland America Line’s most popular venues beyond Pinnacle Class ships.
RETURN TO SERVICE DEC. 2, 2027
Oosterdam will return to service Dec. 2, 2027, with a seven-day Western Mediterranean itinerary roundtrip from Barcelona, calling at Valencia and Malaga, Lisbon and Tangier, before embarking on a 13-day transatlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale. Guests can also book a 20-day Collectors’ Voyage to combine the two cruises.
Oosterdam will then spend the winter 2027/2028 season in the Caribbean, offering a mix of nine‑ and 12‑day itineraries highlighting the southern Caribbean and the ABC Islands, as well as one 11-day itinerary that allows guests to celebrate the winter holidays onboard.
In spring 2028, Oosterdam will transit the Panama Canal while repositioning north to the Pacific Coast. The journey includes ports throughout Central America and Mexico, followed by scenic sailings along the U.S. West Coast before wrapping up in the Pacific Northwest.
All in all the multi-year Holland America Evolution will see six ships across the fleet revitalized with bow‑to‑stern renovations.
