Holland America Lines’ Noordam was launched in 2006, becoming the latest in the Vista Class line of mid-size cruise ships. She was named after the Northern compass point, and comes complete with contemporary and modern amenities whilst embracing the classic style of ocean travel.
You can enjoy an iPod tour of her artworks amid a spacious and comfortable relaxing backdrop while sailing in the Caribbean sunshine or the European culture of the Med. Evenings overflow with choice, from thrilling shows in the lounge, game time in the casino, or singing along to your favourites in the Piano Bar. There’s also the Ocean and Pinnacle bars, or the Atrium and B.B. King’s Blues Bar, which open late for those night owls. If that’s not enough, the Crow’s Nest, lido, and Sports Bar will keep you entertained, and you can even catch an act in the Northern Lights club bar.

Noordam Features
Take in the views from the lido pool on deck as you cruise, or head below to the Vista Show Lounge. Enjoy shopping in the boutique shops or enlighten your mind in the Culinary Arts workshop or Digital workshop, the Explorations Cafe, or the art gallery. While the kids are occupied with the fantastic kid’s and teen’s club facilities onboard, you can relax in the Greenhouse Spa or the Hydro Pool and Thermal Suite, or even exert yourself in the fitness centre.

Andi, Superman, Ari and Aries looked after us very well. Bruce Mathieske and Joel Bowerman, combined with the ten marvellous singers and dancers are top class. Robbie made sure we missed none of it.
Weak Points
Weather too rough for Kangaroo Island and Phillip Island. Can't be helped.
We had difficulty with the App. Help was good, but it kept on 'failing to fetch' on our phones. In the finish, I couldn't see what my account was and got a shock when I saw my bank account. Is there a way I can get an itemised statement?
