Default Upgraded on Zuiderdam

We just got upgrared to VH. Looked at Zuiderdam deck plans and note there are only 4 cabins in VH, deck 4, Upper Promenade deck, in the back of the ship. Has anyone ever stayed in any of these cabins and are there any pictures out there to be seen. TIA

Default Turn the ship around

Those VH's are at the front, bow, of the ship and not the back, stern, aft. I don't know about those particular cabins, but they may have a steel railing and not glass. IRL Joanie's site, the sticky at the top, should have photos of them. If not of the Zuiderdam, check theWesterdam, Noordam and Oosterdam pages as they are sister ships. They may not be identical but you will get a good idea.

As state above:


The four VH cabins are in the front of the ship, not the aft.

Joanie's site doesn't have the Zuiderdam's VH cabins, but she does have pictures of the sister ship Westerdam. However, not interior views, just the deck.

See: http://abqreunion2008.com/Westerdam/Deck-4.html

You will love the cruise, we have done it twice. Not sure if you are into it, but Costa Rica is a great place to zip line in - you don't have to be young to do it, I am 64.
