Oosterdam Cruise Ship Enrichment

Oosterdam’s enrichment game is great! How? Beyond epic shore trips, you’re diving into fun, glittery shopping, and great tech and app tools that make your cruise next-level success. From cooking demos to small wins in games, this ship has everything you could possibly think of.

Shopping Onboard

Deck 3 Shops are a duty-free paradise. Famous names like Mirabella's come with diamonds, plus watches, designer threads, and handbags. You’ll find no dearth of supplies of perfumes, HAL mugs, or candy for the kids. The Vault is all about luxury goodies. You’ll also find inexpensive sales—like $10 tees. Something for every wallet!

Holland America Navigator

This free app is your guide around the ship. Download it on your phone, log in, and plan your day. Check trivia timings, book Pinnacle Grill, or book a shore tour. You can control costs by looking at the bills or chat with your crew for free onboard amenities. Order room service to your cabin too. Totally worth it for a hassle-free experience.

Explorations Central (EXC)

Deck 10 has the Crow’s Nest, your culture hub. EXC Talks are meant for knowledgeable audiences who want to know the port history or some trivia on Alaska wildlife from experts. Touch tables there will show the ship’s path, and port guides are also available on your app or TV. For example, Alaska cruisers are briefed by rangers working with wildlife. This is real-life experience distilled. Other activities like cooking demos with local chefs are also on the list of events.

Microsoft Digital Workshops

Deck 2 technology classes are free. Learn to edit pictures or the basics of Windows 10 with instructors. With six sessions a day, Microsoft experts may turn you into a computer literate in a matter of hours.

America’s Test Kitchen

Deck 2 has more cooking shows which are a feast for your eyes. Chefs whip up brownies or spicy chili, giving tips and recipes while in the process of cooking. Seats fill fast, so make sure to make a prior appointment. It’s like Food Network live, minus Gordon Ramsay yelling at you.

Port Shopping Ambassador Program

If you opt for this program, you’ll have assistance in getting the best deals when you disembark for shopping. You’ll have maps and tips on getting 20–60% off jewelry or souvenirs. The best shops are vetted in this program, so you don’t get scammed.

O’s Reading Room

Explorer’s Lounge on Deck 2 hosts Oprah’s book club. Dive into novels with group chats or try mindful meditation. You can also join a wellness talk. For book nerds, this place is a paradise.

Trivia and Game Shows

Billboard Onboard or Ocean Bar (Decks 2–3) is a place for fun, being wild and spending time with daily trivia such as music, movies, you name it. You might win a HAL keychain at music trivia. Game shows like “Majority Rules” are pure chaos. Free, fun, and full of vibes.
