Like its sister ships, Zuiderdam and Oosterdam, the elegant Westerdam offers comfort and class to its passengers with one of the highest ratios of space per person in Holland America’s fleet. Two glass-enclosed elevators offer panoramic ocean views that stretch for miles and give passengers access to this ship’s innovative features and amenities. Guests can relax and rejuvenate at the luxurious Greenhouse Spa and Salon, which features 11 therapy rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, as well as sauna, steam and aromatherapy rooms. Afterwards, enjoy high-end shopping at Merabella. One of the most unique features is the Culinary Arts Center, a state-of-the-art show kitchen with plasma video screens and cooking display counters--a must-see for food and wine enthusiasts. Two-thirds of the Westerdam’s staterooms feature private verandas, and every stateroom is equipped with a data port for Internet access. In addition to the two-tiered main dining room, the Westerdam offers several alternative dining options, including the reservations-only Pinnacle Grill (featuring a separate Pinnacle Bar), the casual Lido Restaurant, the Windstar Café and the New-York-Times-powered Explorations Café. Nighttime activities abound and offer something for everyone--whether you prefer to try your luck at the casino, relax in the Piano Bar or take in a show in the Vista Lounge.
