The Oosterdam has just arrived at the southwestern tip of Grand Turk, a part of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. This cruise ship is one of over 300 docking annually at the Grand Turk Cruise Center and disembarking over a million passengers. The 14-acre, $50 million terminal was opened in 2006 by Holland America Line’s parent, the Carnival Corporation. As the sign says, “Welcome to Grand Turk.”
