Holland America opens five additional Oosterdam voyages
The newly bookable cruises will follow the ship’s planned Holland America Evolution drydock in Marseille, France.
Holland America Line has opened bookings for five additional Oosterdam voyages scheduled to begin in October 2027. The cruises will follow an earlier-than-planned start to the ship’s refurbishment programme, which the company attributed to demand for the upgraded vessel.
Oosterdam’s first sailing after the work is planned as a 10-day Adriatic Antiquities cruise from Civitavecchia/Rome to Trieste. The ship is then scheduled to operate four more voyages as it moves from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.
The additional programme includes an 11-day Adriatic Antiquities itinerary leaving Trieste on November 10th, 2027. That voyage is due to visit Croatia, the Greek Isles and Istanbul before ending in Piraeus/Athens.
The refit is scheduled to take place in Marseille as part of Holland America Evolution, which the cruise line describes as the largest fleet investment in its 153-year history. Planned accommodation additions include Solo Verandahs, forward-facing Bridgeview Suites and Vista Suites, alongside a redesigned Pinnacle Suite. Public-area changes are expected to include the addition of the Grand Dutch Café and a redesigned Ocean Bar.
