In 1999, our dream-cruise collaboration resulted in the Rotterdam being the largest passenger vessel to ever visit Antarctica. On-board cuisine is another important aspect of a world cruise. Our dining venues include the La Fontaine Dining Room, alternative Italian Odyssey Restaurant, casual Lido dining and 24-hour complimentary cabin service. Entertainment is also important on a Grand World Voyage. Each year a new Broadway-style revue is introduced and the best shows from across the fleet, including Barry Manilow s Copacabana, are produced.
Celebrities join the Amsterdam at various points to delight guests.
Local performers also are brought on board in different ports for more exotic entertainment. We create opportunities for our guests to broaden their horizons and deepen their knowledge of destinations through its series of on-board cultural and lifestyle lectures. World-renowned experts deliver lectures on art, history, literature, politics and wildlife of the various countries visited. Lectures on health, fitness, nutrition and well-being also are offered. We also see to guests spiritual needs with clerical staff on board ministering to Catholic, Protestant and Jewish guests.
