VERY OPRAH INAUGURAL

The Girls’ Getaway with Oprah Winfrey welcomed Holland America Line’s newest ship in sisterly style.

What happens when you get 2,400 women together on a cruise ship for a Girls’ Getaway with Oprah Winfrey?

Tons of laughter, loads of camaraderie, and hugs and tears resulting from both. Even Oprah herself was moved by the experience.

At the end of the cruise, as she was about to christen Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam, she professed: “I’ve had the most blessed life of anyone I know … I’ve never seen anything like these past three days. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

Inaugural Cruisers

By most standards, this was a very short cruise — just three days and three nights — but for many of those aboard it was their introduction to cruising, and the fact that Oprah was actually on board too, with her own best friend Gayle King, made it a chance not to be missed.

The power of Oprah as a lifestyle and brand permeated the entire cruise, from the food on the Lido (featuring Oprah’s favorite salad) to onboard activities like O’s Reading Room book discussions, to a fashion show with O, The Oprah Magazine’s creative director Adam Glassman, who after the show led the audience in a parade to the retail shop where he personally helped women style themselves with the clothes featured in the show. Like virtually everyone else on the cruise, Glassman was the perfect host, sticking around until everyone got individual attention and help.
