Holland America Line has sailed three ships named Westerdam.  The first, a cargo/passenger ship, sailed for HAL from 1946 to 1965.  The second, which was built for Home Lines in 1986 as the Homeric,  was purchased by Holland America Line in 1988.  She sailed as the Westerdam until 2002, when she was transerred to Costa Crociere, and renamed the Costa Europa.  The third Westerdam, also the third of HAL's Vista class ships, debuted in 2004.
