Oosterdam is a Vista-class cruise ship built by Fincantieri for Holland America Line and christened by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands in Rotterdam, marking the company's 130th anniversary. The vessel features a distinctive CODAG propulsion system combining five Sulzer diesel engines with a GE gas turbine, making it one of only a handful of merchant vessels powered by such an arrangement. In recent years, Oosterdam operates seasonally in the Mediterranean during summer months and in South America during winter.
