ms Noordam
Ship Details
Holland America’s fourth and final Vista-class ship, the MS Noordam is the definition of modern cruising, taking passengers well into the twenty-first century.
What separates the MS Noordam from her sister ships is her vivid colour scheme and her exquisite Waterford-crystal sculptures. The dining facilities, such as the Pinnacle Grill Reastruant and Vista Dining Room, are all gorgeous decorated with meals prepared by a team of skilled chefs.
The MS Noordam exemplifies classic ocean travel with modern amenities and enhancements, making it that more magical.
