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   On board, l,848 pampered guests will enjoy more space per person than any other ship in a fleet already known for its stylish, spacious comfort, more convenience, including Internet/E-mail data ports in every stateroom.
