Superbly refreshed, Westerdam cruise ship features excellent bar, entertainment and dining venues, plus completely reimagined suites. Westerdam is a fascinating destination in her own right and has won multiple Best Cruise Ship awards. On board, enjoy live entertainment with Music Walk™ and Billboard Onboard. Enrich your travel experience at the new Exploration Central atop the ship.
Although it is the rainy season in December and early January, we were lucky and it mostly remained dry and sunny on our excursions. The food on Holland America Westerdam is very good at this price point, the service efficient and professional, and it seems there is a link between cultural cruising in Indonesia and enjoying board games! We did a mix of HAL excursions and our own privately organized ones. All of them were good, though in Bali there can be long travel times. The ship may be a little old, but it is still in good repair and comfortable. A great way to visit many of the main sites of Indonesia and also spend some time in KL (Batu Caves) & Singapore. The Gardens by the Bay music & lights show, the Orchid Botanical gardens, the Asian Civilizations Museum and the National Gallery were highlights of our time in Singapore.
At the time of this writing, the Westerdam is in a Singapore dry dock for two weeks involving the replacement of carpet in the staterooms among other significant tasks. A weak side of the cruise was the use of a paper based system for keeping track of transactions. The company needs to incorporate a wireless system that unlocks the door as one approaches it, to locate one’s friend(s) via the App and to carry out transactions. The ship is well designed and it was easy to find a spot to read quietly. The Crows Nest was a great place to meet and carry out various activities. The Stage shows were unbelievable. The Entertainers presented more different productions than any other cruise that we have been on. EXCEPTIONAL. As to be expected the quality of the food was superb overall and the staff were excellent. The reviews of the various excursions include positive points and negative points that assisted with making accurate decisions. This was a Xmas / New Year’s cruise and celebrate we did!
With refined amenities and Holland America Line signature Mariner’s Dream bed gracing each elegant stateroom, the ship offers six grades of staterooms. Most are ocean-facing, many featuring teak-lined verandas for dining alfresco or private sunbathing.
Enjoy everything from a burger and fries by the Lido Pool to the authentic Italian flavors of Canaletto to the ultimate in refined and luxurious dining at the Pinnacle Grill.
Every day aboard a Holland America cruise ship brings a wealth of cruise activities and indulgences, along with the freedom to partake in as many- or as few- as you please. It's an opportunity to try something new that surprises you, every day. Dabble, discover, daydream- do everything, or do nothing at all.
Whether you want to workout in the Fitness Centre, learn yoga, pamper yourself with a massage and spa treatment, or enjoy a game of basketball, there's a perfect onboard activity for everyone.
Holland America Line's youth activities program, Kids Club, offers an array of entertaining events for kids and teens ages 3-17, supervised by a full-time, professionally trained staff. They'll have an opportunity to join other kids their age for arts and crafts, sports, video game competitions, scavenger hunts, challenging team games and themed parties.
Note: Kids Club is not offered on cruises of 25-days or longer, including all Legendary and Grand Voyages. We will offer a selection of children’s activities throughout these longer voyages for any children who may be onboard.
Safety Comes First
Safety is our primary concern and strict policies are in place for effective supervision. Adult guests are not permitted to remain in Kids Club unless attending to a special-needs child.
Please note: During voyages with a high number of families onboard, we will make all efforts to accommodate interested parties. However, participation in our program cannot be guaranteed. Hours of operation may change to better serve our guests.
