Holland America Line
Zuiderdam received the full line-up of HAL features in a late 2017 refurbishment; the ship itself dates back to 2002. Zuiderdam is a fairly casual ship, Most evenings, the dress code is smart casual in all dining venues. The Zuiderdam cruise ship is Holland America Line's first Vista-class cruise ships, which boasts classic nautical lines and finishes, with modern amenities.
Stateroom accommodation:
Cabins are decorated in white and taupe, with maroon accents, taupe sofas and blond wood. All have two Sealy Premium Euro-top twin beds that can be configured into a queen, several closets and shelves, a nightstand for each side of the bed, a vanity with chair and a mini-bar. Baggage can be stored underneath the bed, and each cabin has European and American outlets, as well as USB outlets near the bed.
Dining on-board:
Vista Dining Room (Decks 2 and 3): While Zuiderdam's main dining room has large windows in both the upper and lower sections, the rooms are separated by a ceiling (rather than the upper level looking down onto the lower level). This layout makes conversation easier as voices don't carry as far -- although you don't get that grand effect that's common to other MDRs.
Daytime and evening entertainment:
The Vista Lounge Theater, on Decks 2 and 3, serves as the main entertainment venue for Zuiderdam. The seats are red plush, with plenty of legroom. Most evenings, the ship has musical performances with its staff of singers and dancers, a comedian or a magician. The stage has been updated in recent years with an LED system, and the best performances we saw took advantage of this -- the Billboard show with the Zuiderdam singers and dancers was particularly effective. Another standout on the mainstage was "Frozen Earth," a performance that utilized two of the line's partnerships -- BBC and "Live from Lincoln Center." The classical musicians played while gorgeous imagery from the world's Polar Regions were broadcast on a screen.

Sydney, Canada
Sydney was founded in 1785 and named in honour of Britains Home Secretary at the time, Thomas Townsend, 1st Viscount Sydney- a few years later, Sydney, Australia would also be named after him. Sydney's original settlers included former soldiers and Loyalists escaping the chaos following the American Revolution. The town was the English capital of Cape Breton Island from its founding until 1820, when the island colony and its rich coal fields became part of Nova Scotia. It was that coal that would transform Sydney from a colonial town in Cape Breton into a major industrial centre, becoming a world leader in steel production. That industrial growth saw Sydney officially become a city in 1904, welcoming workers and their families from around the province and world. Today, Sydney continues to welcome people from around the world as they come to visit the city and the beautiful island of Cape Breton.
