MS Westerdam is the third of Holland America Line's Vista Class ships, as well as being the third ship to bear the moniker Westerdam. It is sister to the ms Oosterdam, MS Zuiderdam, and the ms Noordam. The names of the four ships translate to the four directions of the compass in Dutch. The ship was christened on April 25, 2004 in Venice, Italy by Dutch actress Renée Soutendijk.

In Cape Town, South Africa, The Canary Project and local citizens created an enormous Solar Sun out of 70 high powered parabolic solar cookers with the "rays" being on the ground tables where the local community feasted on traditional food made in the solar cookers. After the event, the solar cookers were donated to the Khayelitsha community of Cape Town where many people do not have access to electricity. Each high powered parabolic cooker lasts for 10 years and requires no fossil fuels, saving money for families while also protecting their health and the environment.
