The newest of the Vista-class ships, the Noordam continues Holland America's tradition
of comfortable, elegant and classy ships. There's no shortage of spectacular views
from this ship. The two-tiered Vista Dining Room is located in the aft of the ship
and offers panoramic views of the sea. The signature Crow's Nest Lounge gives a bird's-eye
view from the top of the ship. Eighty-five percent of the ship's cabins have ocean
views, and nearly 80% of those have private balconies. One of the most unique features
is the Culinary Arts Center, a state-of-the-art show kitchen with plasma video screens
and cooking display counters - a must-see for food and wine enthusiasts. Other activities
and amenities include a video arcade, basketball and volleyball courts, and fitness
center.
