As quite often seen in European hotels, stateroom lighting is activated by inserting the guest key card into a slot near the entrance.  Upon exiting the stateroom, guests just remove the key card from the slot and the lighting will be powered down.  This is an efficient tool by which to reduce overall power use when guests are not in their stateroom.

Deluxe verandah and penthouse suite guests are also entitled to use the Neptune Lounge.  The Neptune Lounge is a great place to relax and enjoy the personalized service of a concierge.  Also located in the Neptune Lounge are worktables, a large screen television, library, sofas and chairs, wi-fi service, no-host mini bar and, refreshments throughout the day.  A twenty-four hour phone concierge service is also available when the Neptune Lounge is closed.

Other stateroom categories aboard Eurodam include exterior staterooms (170 to 185 sq ft.), deluxe verandah staterooms (254 sq ft.), superior verandah suites (389 sq ft. with verandah), deluxe verandah suites (500 to 700 sq ft. with verandah), and two penthouse suites (1,318 sq ft. with verandah).  The latter two categories feature a host of amenities including complimentary laundry and pressing service, corsages and boutonnieres for the first formal night, priority boarding for tender ports of call, high tea service en suite upon request, and much more.

The ship's sixty deluxe verandah suites and fifty superior verandah suites emphasize rich walnut and powder blue and champagne coloured fabrics, along with contemporary leather furniture and brushed nickel finishes.  Deluxe verandah suites display reproductions of original Matisse and Picasso drawings, along with colourful Tuscany landscapes created from original woodcuts.

Superior verandah suites also utilize historic photographs of New York and Amsterdam and colourful reproductions of original paintings by avant-garde Dutch artist Karel Appel.  Following similar themes with understated colours and woods paired with classical art themes, Nieuw Amsterdam's two penthouse verandah suites were designed by Architectenbureau VFD, Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Interior staterooms range from 170 to 200 square feet and feature two beds that are convertible to a queen size bed.  Instead of dismissing the fact that there is no natural light in the interior staterooms, NB designed a light blue accent color behind the bed and added a transparent sheer fabric in front of the wall to suggest a horizon just beyond.

The 558 verandah ocean view staterooms and 175 ocean view staterooms showcase coffee, burgundy, and sandstone tones in window coverings, bedding and fabrics, plus rich wood and metal accessories alongside custom furniture.  Artwork exhibits reproductions of surrealist oil paintings and feature classical themes combined with contemporary photography.
