Entertainment on HAL’s Oosterdam.
Four new productions are taking centre stage on Holland America Line‘s Oosterdam, including the debut of a new rock show created by RWS Global in collaboration with Rolling Stone: “Holland America Line and Rolling Stone Present, All Access: The Songs That Shaped Us.”
The production follows the success of the Rolling Stone Lounge venue found on most Holland America Line ships.
“We listened to what our guests wanted—more visually impressive productions with incredible music and memorable performances—and these four new shows deliver that,” said Joe Chantry, HAL’s VP of entertainment & enrichment.

“Working with our creative partners at RWS Global and Rolling Stone, we’ve developed an entertainment lineup that is bold, immersive and uniquely Holland America Line, giving guests even more reasons to make World Stage part of every evening on board.”
Following its successful launch on Koningsdam, the acclaimed “Fosse and Verdon, The Duet That Changed Broadway,” is now on Oosterdam. “Decadence” and “Disco Fever” complete the four new productions that are already playing on the ship’s World Stage.
“The new show with Rolling Stone leverages one of the world’s most iconic music brands to create an unforgettable live entertainment experience for Holland America Line’s guests,” said Craig Laurie, chief creative officer of RWS Global.
“The extraordinary success of the Rolling Stone Lounge makes it clear that guests crave authentic, brand‑driven entertainment rooted in nostalgia. Building on a proven fan favourite, we’ve expanded the experience into a fully realized stage production featuring singers, dancers, and the band from Rolling Stone Lounge.”
Details about Oosterdam’s shows produced by Holland America Line and RWS Global:

“Holland America Line and Rolling Stone Present All Access: The Songs That Shaped Us“: The energetic show celebrates music from rock legends including The Eagles, Janis Joplin, Van Halen and Fleetwood Mac. This adrenaline-fueled concert experience blends powerhouse live music with dynamic choreography in a celebration of rock’s most iconic hits.
“Decadence”: An electrifying fusion of music, movement, and spectacle—where Las Vegas pulse meets New York sophistication and old-world Hollywood glamour.
“Disco Fever”: Guests step into a glittering, high-energy disco celebration. Featuring “Le Freak,” “It’s Raining Men” and “I Love the Nightlife.” Iconic hits return with modern flair—transforming the stage into a shimmering, feel-good dance party.
“Fosse and Verdon, the Duet That Changed Broadway”: A dazzling sequence of iconic musical numbers inspired by Bob Fosse’s and Gwen Verdon’s original choreography, as well as never-before-seen archival audio and video content. One critic called it “…hands down the best show I’ve ever seen on a ship.”
The four shows are already live on Oosterdam with bookings available this fall.
Oosterdam is the first of six ships that will undergo a complete revitalization as part of Holland America Evolution, the most ambitious guest experience update in the company’s 153-year history. Oosterdam’s renovations debut in December 2027.
