Vista Class ms Zuiderdam
Roundtrip Ft. Lauderdale: Dutch Antilles
and Costa Rica too!
The Panama Canal is one of the world's great wonders, and no photograph, no film footage, no description can ever do justice to it: you have to see it with your own eyes. Here's your chance! Join Bernie for a sunny October cruise down the Caribbean that takes in charming Dutch ports in Aruba and Curacao, reaches its climax at a thrilling day touring Gatun Lake and the Canal -- then goes on to the eco-paradise of Costa Rica. There will be plenty of time at sea on the big and beautiful ms Zuiderdam to immerse yourself in Bernie's bridge program, and the voyage is conveniently roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale.

Aboard Holland America's ms Zuiderdam: The ms Zuiderdam began her inaugural season in 2002 as the first in Holland America's Vista-class series. She embraces the latest industry and environmental technologies such as her use of a diesel-electric power plant for optimal energy efficiency. The Zuiderdam was also the first ship to offer data ports in every stateroom for Internet and email access.
At the heart of the vessel, suspended in a three-story atrium, a Waterford Crystal Seahorse sets the mood for exquisite pieces of art to be seen throughout this elegant ship.
When you're not playing bridge or off the ship sightseeing, there's plenty to keep you occupied onboard. The Culinary Arts Center, presented by Food & Wine Magazine is a popular diversion. The Greenhouse Spa offers state-of-the-art wellness treatments.
