With ten decks full of refined style and fantastic facilities, Holland America’s Volendam is a fabulous choice for anyone wanting to combine warmth and intimacy with a real sense of style. At 61,000 tons and some 781 feet long, the Volendam is big enough to provide a safe, adventurous base from which to visit some amazing destinations, yet human enough in size and scale to create an air of casual ease and relaxation.

The Volendam cruises the exotic waters of the Far East and Australia during the winter, and is often to be found in Alaska during the summer, with occasional voyages out to the gorgeous Hawaiian Islands.

Cabins are large and extremely comfortable for the size of the ship, ranging from comfortable insides to deluxe suites. Service throughout the ship is unobtrusive and unfailingly gracious, provided by a hand picked Indonesian and Filipino staff renowned worldwide for their warmth and hospitality.

With open decks and pools aplenty on the outside, and a stellar range of public rooms inside that feature priceless works of art, the Volendam is a stylish, serene, well served alternative to the larger, more impersonal mega ships. With a list of services almost as wide ranging as this adventurous ship herself, she is a prime choice for an epic adventure.
