MS Oosterdam (/ˈoʊstərdæm/ OH-ster-dam) is a Vista class cruise ship of the Holland America Line, a division of Carnival Corporation & plc. Launched in 2002 as the line's second Vista, Oosterdam is sister to MS Noordam, MS Westerdam, and MS Zuiderdam. The ship's name is a portmanteau of the Dutch word oost, meaning 'east,' and the suffix -dam, a common Dutch placename suffix used in the names of all Holland America Line ships.
