Overview

Noordam is Holland America Line's fourth and final Vista-class cruise ship, a roughly 82,900-GT, 285-metre vessel named for the Dutch word for 'north' and the fourth HAL ship to carry the name. Christened in New York in February 2006 with Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin as godmother, she was the first HAL ship delivered with the full 'Signature of Excellence' package and featured an extended, more vertical stern adding 35 staterooms. Carrying about 1,972 guests, she offers venues including the Vista Lounge, B.B. King's Blues Club, Pinnacle Grill and a Culinary Arts Center, and sails seasonal Alaska, Australia/New Zealand and Asia itineraries.
