Untitled Document
Long known for their no-nonsense approach to ship design, Holland
America continues to retain their traditions of spacious staterooms, white-gloved
service, museum quality artwork and fresh-cut flowers throughout all public
spaces. With the introduction of their four new “Vista class”
ships – Westerdam was the third in the series – these proud
traditions continue.
But Holland America isn’t sitting on their laurels. Their recent
“Signature of Excellence” initiative is proof positive that
this line is successfully combining timeless traditions changing trends.
Here are some of the highlights – both traditional and new –
that Westerdam delivers to her passengers.
- More Balconies and More Ocean Views. Two of three
staterooms feature a private balcony and 85% of all staterooms have
ocean views.
- Upgraded Stateroom Amenities. EVERY accommodation
features luxury bedding, premium linens, fluffy Egyptian cotton towels,
plush bathrobes, salon-quality hair dryers, and more. Suite accommodations
offer additional luxury touches!
- More Space – Fewer Passengers. Staterooms average
25% larger than the competition and Westerdam carries 25% fewer guests
than comparably-sized ships.
- Four Dining Choices. The main, two-tiered dining
room (now with four dining times); a reservations-only alternative restaurant;
and the always-casual Lido Restaurant. Plus, complimentary in-room dining!
- Culinary Arts Center. A demonstration kitchen for
gourmet food presentations, tasting events and cooking classes!
- Greenhouse Spa and Salon! Expanded Kids & Teen
Programs! Optional treatments include dry-float suite, couple’s
massage rooms, thermal suites with hydrotherapy pools and more! Kids
and teens have never had it better with their own space – even
their own clubs!
- The “extras.” Expanded enrichment programs,
complimentary evening hors d’oeuvres, Royal Dutch High Tea, hand-dipped
chocolates, ice cream specialties, and more!
