Defining the future of cruising, the ms Zuiderdam (pronounced ZI-der-dam) began her inaugural season in 2002 as the first of our new Vista Class cruise ships. Forward-looking in both design and spirit ms Zuiderdam trumpeted the arrival of a new age in cruising. ms Zuiderdam dazzles guests with more of everything they desire on a cruise ship: more staterooms with verandahs for private dining, sunning and relaxing; more dining choices from fancy dress-up dinners to casual pool-side dining; more ways to be pampered in The Greenhouse Spa and Salon. This spectacular cruise ship delights guests with an unforgettable onboard experience.
