FWIW, we're currently aboard--and enjoying!--the South America & Antarctica cruise on the Oosterdam sailing Santiago to B.A. There is a fairly large group aboard from Travel Rite (travelrite.com.au). Seems like a great group and everyone is having a good time. Their website indicates that Travel Rite will also have a group on the following Oosterdam cruise departing 1/29/2024 from B.A. back to Santiago.

As the Noordam was in drydock for the month of Feb 2022, do you have any knowledge as to why the 'early' drydock, and what work is being performed?

It still has Northern Lights and supposedly the most desirable exploration lounge configuration of the vista class. I'm guessing those will be adjusted and "the library" on will be put in the area somewhere. Sailing on the Noordam in April and it sure seems to be the "phantom sister" of the vista class - few reviews and posts on her and only a handful of videos of her on youtube after covid.
