Westerdam ship information

Our 2008 for sailing to Panama and Alaska will be aboard the incredibly beautiful new Vista-Class ms. Westerdam This ship has also been identified as our ship for the 2008 Alaska sailing as well. The Vista-Class ms Noordam joined the Holland America Line fleet in February 2006. On board, guests enjoy a space-per-person ratio unsurpassed by any other ship in a fleet already known for spacious comfort! In addition, the ms Noordam has more of what guests desire: More staterooms with private verandahs; more dining choices including the reservations-only Pinnacle Grill experience, and the Lido Restaurant (a culinary courtyard); and even more ways to relax in The Greenhouse Spa and Salon.
