The Ocean Bar is being reimagined on Oosterdam<\/em> with a brand-new stage, an audience-first design, Golden Age-inspired decor, and a lineup of talent that makes every night one worth remembering.<\/p>\n It’s just one of the enhanced guest experiences coming as part of Holland America Evolution \u2014 the largest fleet update in our 153-year history.<\/p>\n<\/div> The Ocean Bar draws its inspiration from an era when Hollywood legends embarked on voyages with bulky luggage full of the latest fashion, personalities bigger than life, and a trail of awed on-lookers.<\/p>\n Art Deco aesthetic anchors the space, with a nautical sensibility woven throughout. Lounge chairs with leather straps nod to vintage travel trunks. Reupholstered pieces in recycled fabrics honor the ship’s heritage while looking toward the future. And a new atrium railing draws directly from the historic SS Rotterdam<\/em> in a timeless connection to Holland America’s maritime legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div> A brand-new stage at the portside forward corner anchors the design, built for an ever-changing lineup: regional soloists, pianists, the beloved Vivace Strings ensemble, and late-night cabarets. The existing space has been completely reimagined to put performance at the center of the experience.<\/p>\n Nine stage-facing seats and flexible lounge seating evolve the room over the full arc of an evening, whether that’s a happy hour solo show, a full cabaret performance, or just music alongside pre-dinner drinks.<\/p>\n Performances are visible from multiple vantage points throughout the venue \u2014 portside and aft \u2014 so every seat is the right seat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Decor Rooted in the Golden Age of Travel<\/h2><\/div>
