Each of the ms Westerdam cruise ship deck plans are conveniently combined with a legend (showing cabin codes) and detailed review of all the deck's venues and passenger-accessible indoor and outdoor areas. A separate link provides an extensive information on ms Westerdam staterooms (cabins and suites), including photos, cabin plans and amenities by room type and category.

MS Westerdam (2004-built, last refurbished in 2023 February) is the third of the four Vista-classHolland America ships (together with ms Noordamms Oosterdam, and ms Zuiderdam), and also the P&O ship  Arcadia. Previously, under the same name was operated Marella Dream. The Westerdam ship’s name signifies the Western point of the compass in Dutch.

Westerdam cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 984 staterooms for 1968 passengers (max capacity is 2362) served by 820 crew-staff. The boat has 11 passenger decks (7 with cabins), 14 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools (one with retractable glass roof), 5 outdoor Jacuzzis, 14 elevators (4 are scenic/with glass walls).

In 2016, Holland America Line updated MS Westerdam’s shipboard programming (enrichment, entertainment and children) replacing the old “Dancing With the Stars” with “BBC Earth” content.

  • The theatre hosts daily expert lectures, presentations, a nature-themed game show with BBC Earth screenings and introductions by the crews that filmed these series. A signature concert in the evenings is based on the “Frozen Planet” program (polar regions-themed) – a spectacular multimedia show with live musicians.
  • The children club facilities feature an explorer trail, workshops (including on journalism and filming), fact shows (animals, dinosaurs).
  • Holland America-themed cruises feature access to the BBC Earth series creators, sharing behind-the-scenes media and stories. Children have the opportunity to participate in filming workshops.

Westerdam deck plan changes 2017 refurbishment review

The ship's 2017 drydock refurbishment (April 14-26, done by Fincantieri in Palermo Sicily Italy) resulted in the following deck plan changes:

The list of deck plan changes after the major refit and refurbishment in April 2007 (when the vessel was lengthened by 130 ft / 40 m) included:

  • 34 new passenger cabins were added when a whole section was installed aft on decks 6, 7 and 8, thus narrowing some of the ship’s aft location balconies.
