Vista Class comprises Zuiderdam (2002), Oosterdam (2003), Westerdam (2004), and Noordam (2006). At roughly 82,000 GT they are meaningfully smaller than the Signature and Pinnacle classes and consequently reach ports the newer ships cannot enter.
All four ships have received progressive refurbishments including the addition of Pinnacle Grill, Tamarind, Lincoln Center Stage, and updated staterooms. Deployment is deliberately global: Alaska, Mediterranean, South America, Panama Canal, and Grand Voyage programmes.
Zuiderdam is the fleet's most common Grand World Voyage platform, alternating with Volendam year-on-year on the 120-night circumnavigation.
