Westerdam (Vista Class)

The color palette is bright and bold, but some of the furniture approaches funky, and it's not entirely pleasing on the eye.

Vista-class vessels like Westerdam integrate new youthful and family-friendly elements into Holland America Line's classic fleet. Exquisite Waterford crystal sculptures adorn triple-deck atriums and reflect vivid, almost daring color schemes. Although all the public rooms carry the traditional Holland America names (Ocean Bar, Explorer's Lounge, Crow's Nest), their loud decor may make them unfamiliar to returning passengers.
