Holland America Line is expanding its award-winning onboard entertainment with four new World Stage productions aboard Oosterdam, including an exclusive new rock show created in collaboration with Rolling Stone. Developed exclusively for Holland America Line by RWS Global, the world leader in live moments across entertainment and sports, the new productions combine iconic music, spectacular visuals and immersive performances that elevate the cruise line’s live entertainment experience.
Headlining the new entertainment lineup is Holland America Line and Rolling Stone Present, All Access: The Songs That Shaped Us. Created by RWS Global in collaboration with Rolling Stone, the high-energy rock production celebrates legendary artists and builds on the popularity of the Rolling Stone Lounge, a guest-favorite venue featured aboard 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, vice president of entertainment & enrichment for Holland America Line. “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.”
Joining the new Rolling Stone production are three additional World Stage shows now featured aboard Oosterdam. Following its successful debut aboard Koningsdam, the acclaimed Fosse and Verdon, The Duet That Changed Broadway has arrived on Oosterdam, alongside the vibrant new productions Decadence and Disco Fever. Together, the four productions offer guests an even more dynamic lineup of world-class entertainment at sea.
“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 favorite, we’ve expanded the experience into a fully realized stage production featuring singers, dancers, and the band from Rolling Stone Lounge.”
“Rolling Stone has always celebrated the songs and artists that shape how people feel, connect and create memories, and this partnership with Holland America Line brings that spirit to audiences in a fresh, immersive way,” said Julian Holguin, chief executive officer of Rolling Stone. “We’re excited to build on the momentum of Rolling Stone Lounge with a new live experience that feels both unmistakably Rolling Stone and perfectly suited for guests looking to engage with music in a meaningful, memorable setting.”
