Holland America's ms Westerdam
Treasures of the sea - from underwater life to nightlife! See what treasures you uncover on this fascinating voyage as we visit Costa Maya, Georgetown, Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay.
The Mayan Riviera still guards the mysterious Mayan civilization's secrets. We'll visit Mexico's enchanting Costa Maya to explore ruined temples and secret pathways that weave through this sleepy fishing village. If the sea beckons, explore miles of white sand beach and curious underwater caves, called cenotes. In lovely Georgetown, Grand Cayman, visit sugar-sand Seven Mile Beach for sunning, swimming, snorkeling, sailing, or windsurfing, then grab lunch and still have time for fabulous duty-free shopping.
With sea life ranging from tiny seahorses to hawksbill turtles, coral gardens, and giant whale sharks, Grand Turk is heaven on earth for divers, snorkelers, and beach lovers. Founded by Bermudan salt rakers, Grand Turk is Turks & Caicos' capital and a treasure trove of pastel British colonial architecture. See what treasures you uncover on this fascinating voyage.
Your Ship - Westerdam ...magnificent Vista Class
Spring 2008 welcomes the ms Westerdam. On board, guests will enjoy a space-per-person ratio unsurpassed by any other ship in a fleet already known for spacious comfort. In addition, Westerdam has more of what guests desire: More staterooms with private verandahs. More dining choices including the reservations-only Pinnacle Grill experience, and the Lido Restaurant, a culinary courtyard. More ways to relax in The Greenhouse Spa and Salon.
The ms Westerdam is the third in Holland America Line's series of Vista-class ships. Defining the future of cruising, the ms Westerdam offers guests more of everything they desire on a cruise ship: more staterooms with private verandahs, more dining choices from formal dinners to casual poolside dining, more exotic destinations, and the very best in cruise activities and cruise entertainment. As with all Vista-class ships, she embraces the latest industry and environmental technologies such as such as her use of a full-scale diesel-electric power plant for optimal energy efficiency and an Azipod propulsion system that maximizes maneuverability.
Vista Lounge
Smart and sophisticated, the Vista Lounge whispers excitement long before the curtain rises. Watch a dazzling off-Broadway show and, in a blaze of light and color, you are instantly transported into another world.
Vista Dining Room
Amid Rosenthal China place settings and starched linen, dine in the exotic Rotterdam Dining Room where the chef's imagination is given free rein. That's how temptations like spicy gazpacho, portabello mushroom pot pie, cherry-glazed duck breast and chocolate profiteroles make it from the kitchen to your table.
Lido Pool
Warm days with light, salty breezes are made for lounging poolside with an icy beverage in one hand and an epic novel in the other. Does this count as doing something or doing nothing? You'll soon know...
Fitness Center
Work out on the high seas in a state-of-the-art fitness center complete with machines, free weights, cardio equipment and a personal training consultant. Afterwards, re-hydrate yourself at the juice bar. On offer are carrot, apple, pineapple or vegetable blends -- good-for-you nectar of the gods!
Crow's Nest
The lively Crow's Nest offers a world-class view of the course ahead. A piano serenade, a lively conversation, a cocktail before dinner, a nightcap afterwards -- with these sweeping ocean vistas, you'll never forget you're at sea.
Disembarkation usually begins two hours after docking.

Grand Turks, Turks and Caicos Islands
A scuba diver's oasis, Grand Turk boasts secluded coves, soft coralline sand and a grand reef system where schools of colorful fish flicker among the coral gardens.
