m/s "ZUIDERDAM II"
Holland America Line

In view of the new ships’ commercial success, Holland America Line decides to order five new ships from the Italian Fincantieri yard.

The ocean going vessels of this so-called ‘Vistas series’ are no less than 25 % bigger than the earlier ships. The Zuiderdam is the first ship to be delivered in this series.

The Dining Room is the setting for a number of impressionist paintings by Ben Rikken and Edlef Romeny and the realist still-lives by Kenne Gregoire. New are the art objects for the Panoramic Elevators: these glass elevators travel up and down along deep sea tableaux of whales by the Croatian painter, Milan Rubelli.
