Where's Cruise Diva been? To the Netherlands, where Holland America Line's newest ship ms Oosterdam was christened on Tuesday, July 29th. Three days of festivities began on Sunday, July 27th with the arrival of Oosterdam in the city of Rotterdam, where the company was founded 130 years ago. Joined on Monday by Holland America's flagship, ms Rotterdam, the two vessels were berthed bow-to-bow at Wilhelminakade, adjacent to the line's original headquarters. Over 20,000 people visited on board the ships and thousands more passed nearby for a look at the elegant vessels. Five thousand guests were on hand for the naming ceremony as Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet arrived to officially christen Oosterdam. On cue, the five house flags that have flown over the Holland America Line fleet floated majestically from the stage behind Princess Margriet to the bridge of the Rotterdam, while 130 white doves soared overhead to commemorate the company's anniversary and a 6-liter mathusalem of champagne began its descent to burst against Oosterdam's hull. Amid a rain of confetti, a huge Dutch flag was unfurled from the bow of the Oosterdam and a United States flag from the Rotterdam, representing Holland America's name and association with the two countries. Come aboard with CruiseDiva.com and explore OOSTERDAMthen take the photo tour, which includes dozens of photographs of Holland America's stunning new ship! More christening details are available in Cruise News.
