HAL adding Oosterdam at San Diego for Mexico sailings
Holland America Line’s Oosterdam will join the Westerdam on cruises out of San Diego later this year.
It will sail seven-day roundtrip Mexico cruises calling at Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta from September 2017 through February 2018.
The 1,964-passenger Oosterdam kicks off the season on September 30 with two back-to-back cruises.
"Holland America Line’s last season in Mexico was very popular so we are adding capacity for the next season so that more of our guests can enjoy these itineraries that truly showcase the allure of the destination," said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line.
"Our Mexico cruises offer convenience and ease, especially for a multigenerational family looking for a unique vacation."
The Vista-class ship will feature Mexican themed programming courtesy of Explorations Central, with local entertainment, regional dishes and destination presentations.
