Make New Friends

Get your heart racing, blood pumping and make some new friends on the basketball and volleyball court by playing a game or two of friendly rivalry action. Take your fitness to a whole another level in the Fitness Centre or participate in the fitness classes available on board. After working up a sweat, cool off in one of the two outdoor pools and let all your worries fade away. Take your relaxing up a notch by heading to the blissful retreat of the Greenhouse Spa & Salon. With a variety of beauty treatments from massages to manicures and use of the thermal suite you can be pampered and primed like never before.

Find A Comfortable Spot

Dotted around the ship you’ll find many comfortable spots that line the fall to ceiling windows where you get lost in your own little world as you watch the views go by, pick up where you last left your book or allow yourself just a few moments to enjoy a warm hot drink purchased from the café. For a spot of duty free shopping, be sure to check out the Signature Shops and find pricier pieces of jewellery from noted designers in the luxe enclave of Merabella.

Learn Something New

Uncover a whole new talent and learn a few tricks of the trade in the Culinary Arts Centre, brought to sea by the Food & Wine Magazine, where you will be invited to join resident chefs for hands-on cooking classes and demonstrations.

Club HAL

Younger guests are warmly welcomed on MS Westerdam and Club HAL provides those aged 3 – 17 with a wide variety of exciting activities to enjoy. The Loft and The Oasis are teen-only areas, with no adults allowed – apart from the Club HAL supervisors – where there can enjoy late night sporting competitions and dance classes, cooking demos and teens-only nightclub events.

Dance, Watch and Enjoy

Take in a thrilling show on stage in the two-tiered Vista Lounge where magnificent theatre and musical productions come alive with Broadway veterans. Over 20 musicians perform live each night, with Adagio, the classic ensemble on board performing nightly in the refined space of the Explorer’s Lounge. Request well known favourites and sing along around the piano as the pianist plays in the Piano Bar, or opt to enjoy exotic cocktails and live music in the Ocean Bar. Dance the night away in the lively spaces of the Crow’s Nest or Northern Lights and let your hair down loose for a night or two. If you’d rather cheer with friends and raise a glass to your favourite football team head over to the Sports Bar that’s tucked away on the lower Promenade Deck.
