Holland America and all of our port countries have dropped vaccine requirements for entry/boarding. While our cruisers in very large majority are fully vaccinated, all cruise lines will no longer deny boarding due to not being up to date with vaccines. We strongly encourage guests to check all local mandates and protocols prior to traveling. We highly recommend travel insurance coverage.
Should you need to locate a testing provider prior to beginning travel or while traveling prior to your cruise, please visit TestForTravel.com, an easy-to-use online tool for locating COVID-19 testing providers around the world. Make sure to verify what testing is approved by your airline and the cruise line.
Be sure to go through our own Ship Information page including the five main helpful tabs: Entertainment, Events & Activities, Ship Activities, Dining and the Stateroom page.
You can also view the Deck Plan and Holland America’s site for more information about the Oosterdam.

Casual attire is the order of the day, both on board and ashore. Daytime, it’s basically fine since we know you’re probably headed to the pool or out for a fun Shore Excursion. Casual shorts, jeans, tops and sundresses are welcome everywhere. You can even wear your swimsuit to the poolside grill or the buffet. Resort casual dress gets you into every venue at night too. Some people like to add a jacket, or when celebrating a special occasion, get all decked out. This too is welcome everywhere. And if you’re tired from a long fun day and just want to wear shorts; our buffet is the place for a casual dinner. Some people prefer nice jeans. They’re welcome in many of our restaurants as well, but not in all. Since all suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don’t forget to bring an overnight bag packed with a change of clothes, prescriptions, and need-to-have items.
We have secured as many rooms as possible, but selections are limited and WILL SELL OUT – just like our cruises.
