From the marble temples of ancient Greece to the minarets of İstanbul, this far-reaching Holland America Line voyage spans the Aegean Sea.
A welcoming overnight stay in Athens eases you in gently, a chance to rest before you step on board the legendary Oosterdam in Piraeus. From here, the sea takes over, carrying you between two great cultures across the sparkling Aegean in elegant comfort, with sun-warmed days to fill exactly as you please.
İstanbul rewards you with bustling bazaars and imperial mosques, while the whitewashed villages of Santorini cling to dramatic volcanic cliffs above a deep blue caldera. Add the classical ruins of Ephesus, the medieval streets of Rhodes, and the sun-warmed shores of Mykonos, and you have a journey that lingers long after you return home.

Boasting refined amenities and Holland America’s sumptuous signature Mariner’s Dream™ bed, each elegant stateroom offers a pleasant and welcoming stay. Most rooms are also ocean-facing for glorious views and feature added touches of luxury including premium massage shower heads.
Oosterdam offers luxurious and spacious Inside staterooms for her guests. Featuring modern decor, easy-to-use amenities, and comfort-enhancing furniture, these rooms are the perfect haven to indulge in after a busy day making the most of the activities and amenities presented by this formidable ship.
These large and luxurious staterooms – and by “large”, we’re talking as much as around 180 square feet – offer breathtakingly panoramic views of the ocean, or at least, they certainly can do, if you opt for a standard Ocean View cabin. Otherwise, staterooms offering partial sea views and fully obstructed views are also available, depending on your preferences.
There are few forms of cruise-ship accommodation that are quite as satisfying to stay in as one of Oosterdam’s Verandah staterooms. As the name suggests, these rooms overlook private verandahs through floor-to-ceiling windows that offer up an abundance of natural light. Some of these cabins have a partly obstructed view, so you will need to think carefully about whether you would favour this, or a full sea view.
If you’re seeking accommodation that offers something close to the ultimate luxury cruise experience, well, you might just have found it in the form of Oosterdam’s Signature Suites. With up to 384 square feet of space on offer including the verandah, these are rooms that don’t exactly “do” compromise, especially as far as the jaw-dropping ocean views are concerned.
