Excerpts from Holland America's Website
about the Zuiderdam
When Holland America's elegant ms Zuiderdam
begins her inaugural season December 14, 2002,
all eyes will be upon her. For she will be the first
of a new class of cruise ships aptly called the Vista
Series - forward-looking in both design and spirit.
The new ms Zuiderdam is the first of five spacious
Vista-class ships from Holland America. With more
private, airy verandahs. More ample ocean-view
staterooms. More space per guest than any other ship
in a fleet already renowned for spacious comfort.
And more delight: expanded spa facilities, three
sparkling pools, and blissful 7-day cruises
through the Eastern Caribbean.
