About Zuiderdam

Zuiderdam is Holland America Line’s first Vista-class ship, delivered in 2002 by Fincantieri. It combines a comparatively intimate, classic cruise-ship scale with extensive ocean views, balcony accommodations, live music, enrichment activities and a broad selection of dining venues. The ship is well suited to travelers who value traditional service, scenic public spaces and a relaxed onboard atmosphere rather than the attractions and crowds of the newest mega-ships.
