Holland America's third Vista Class ship MS Westerdam joins her sister ships
MS Oosterdam and MS Zuiderdam in the Spring of 2004. The MS Westerdam is named
for the west position of the compass, pointing the direction cruising will take
in the future. On board, pampered guests will enjoy unsurpassed space per person
ratio by any other ship in a fleet already known for its stylish, spacious
comfort.
