Embark on a grand ocean voyage that combines the historic charm of the Old World with the effortless tranquility of a classic Atlantic crossing.

Departing November 4th, 2026, Holland America Line’s MS Oosterdam sets sail on a 14-Night "Cultural Crossing with Andalusia"—a journey designed for refined travelers who treasure rich history, sun-drenched European ports, and unhurried days at sea.

The Itinerary: Sunlit Shores to Island Oasis

Your transatlantic story begins in the vibrant heart of Catalonia and traces the golden coast of southern Spain before charting a course across the open sea.

Barcelona, Spain: Set sail past Modernist architecture and bustling plazas into the deep blue Mediterranean.

Cartagena & Málaga, Spain: Wander through ancient Roman ruins, Moorish citadels (like Málaga’s iconic Alcazaba), and sample authentic tapas along the sun-bathed Costa del Sol.

Gibraltar, UK: Gaze up at the legendary Rock of Gibraltar, explore St. Michael's Cave, and say hello to the famous Barbary macaques as you exit the Mediterranean Gateway.

The Grand Atlantic Crossing: Enjoy 7 uninterrupted, peaceful days at sea—the ultimate luxury of time to read, unwind, reflect, and watch endless ocean horizons.

King’s Wharf, Bermuda: Make a memorable sub-tropical pit stop amidst pink-sand beaches and historic naval dockyards before making the final leg to Florida.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Arrive refreshed and rejuvenated in sunny South Florida.

Life Onboard MS Oosterdam

As a mid-sized Vista-Class ship, the Oosterdam offers an intimate, classic cruise feel without the overwhelming crowds. It is built for ocean liner tradition, complete with broad teak promenade decks, museum-quality artwork, and expansive ocean views.

Destination-Inspired Culinary Delights: Savor world-class cuisine crafted by Holland America’s Culinary Council. Enjoy regional Mediterranean flavors, hand-cut steaks at the Pinnacle Grill, or fresh pizza and pasta at Canaletto.

Music Walk®: Spend your evenings immersed in live music, from soulful hits at Billboard Onboard to classical masterworks and high-energy blues jams.

Enrichment & Relaxation: Make the most of your sea days with regional wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, wellness sessions at the Greenhouse Spa & Salon, or simply relaxing by the retractable glass-domed Lido pool.
