MS Zuiderdam is a Vista class cruise ship owned and operated by Holland America Line. It is the first of the Vista class ships, so named for the extensive use of glass in their superstructure. It is sister to Oosterdam, Westerdam, and Noordam. The names of the four ships translate to the four directions of the compass in Dutch.
The ship shares similar exterior dimensions with Carnival Cruise Lines' and Costa Cruises' Spirit Class. Cunard Line's Queen Victoria is an enlarged version of the same design, as is HAL's Signature Class. Read more at Wikipedia | Sister Ships: Oosterdam, Westerdam, Noordam
