MS Zuiderdam is
a
cruise ship owned and operated by
Holland America Line. It is the first of the
Vista class ships, so named for the extensive
use of glass in their superstructure. It is sister to the
Oosterdam,
Westerdam, and the
Noordam. The names of the four ships
translate to the four directions of the compass in
Dutch.
As with all Vista-class ships, eighty-five percent of her staterooms have ocean
views and sixty-seven percent have
verandahs. Her art collection carries a
Venetian theme throughout the ship; the most dazzling features figures in the
time of Carnival in Venice, created by Daniel Ogier.
Here are some on-board photos of the ship and personal photos
on board.
