Ship Overview

Volendam The beautiful garden theme of the ms Volendam is reflected in an artful floral motif throughout the ship's spacious public rooms and elegant staterooms. "Flowers" can be found in abundance in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as huge vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums.

Tour the Ship

Flowers blossom everywhere on board the enchanting ms Volendam.

Show Lounge

The glamorous Main Show Lounge is a work of art in itself; but the outstanding productions that take its center stage include perfectly choreographed dancing, laugh-out-loud humor, thought-provoking soliloquies, and high-spirited entertainment -- sometimes all in the same show!

Lido Aft Pool

Warm days with light, salty breezes are made for lounging poolside with an icy beverage in one hand and an epic novel in the other. Does this count as doing something or doing nothing? You'll soon know...

Rotterdam Dining Room

Amid chandeliers and palm trees, dine in the exotic Rotterdam Dining Room where the chef's imagination is given free rein. That's how temptations like spicy gazpacho, portabello mushroom pot pie, cherry-glazed duck breast and chocolate profiteroles make it from the kitchen to your table.

Pinnacle Grill

Guests who dine at the intimate, reservations-only Pinnacle Grill enjoy a dining experience themed to reflect the Pacific Northwest. Candlelight and fine décor create a romantic ambiance that sets the stage for fresh Northwest dishes and select wines.

Explorer's Lounge

Delicate shades of the earth and ocean -- these are the essential ingredients for the understated elegance of the Explorer's Lounge. This meeting place for friends old and new offers intimate seating for small gatherings.

Crow's Nest

The lively Crow's Nest offers a world-class view of the course ahead. A piano serenade, a lively conversation, a cocktail before dinner, a nightcap afterwards -- with these sweeping ocean vistas, you'll never forget you're at sea.

Inside passage, Alaska, 7 Day cruise

Alaska, Inside passage - 8/2010

Loved the itinerary.

embarkation and disembarkation were very efficient, kudos for that.

The ship is a bit dated, especially the dining area-would certainly recommend a more updated look throughout.

Dining, food in the dining room was good, and special requests were attended to.The price for bottled wine was excessive and the wine list  unimaginative. there should be better wines at an affordable price and more extensive selection in that category.

The food in the Lido was less satisfactory, especially at non-dining times. Liked the Canaletto restaurant-when I finally found it!

the Stateroom was adequate in size, but also could use updating, would have liked some more amenities, such as a sewing kit. I only did 2 small shore excursions, they were satisfactory.

I never saw any security personel, although I was mostly roaming the ship-nothing went wrong, as far as I could tell, but in today's circumstances, I would have liked to know, that there was some security. Maybe its so there, just not visible?

 

Pros: Itinerariy, size

Cons: old,dated ship interior

Alaska Cruise July 28, 2010

Alaska - 7/2010

Holland America stands for service and this cruise was no exception.

From embarkation to disembarkation, the crew takes care of your needs. The staterooms are lovely and the public areas well maintained. I especially enjoyed the fresh flowers throughout the ship. The food is always above par and the specialty dining room, Pinnacle is exceptional and makes for an enjoyable evening. Canalleto also offers Italian dining in a relaxed atmosphere.

For activities I especially like On Deck for the Cure which Holland America has sponsored for many years.

The narration during our day of sailing in Glacier Bay is very good. The captain points out whales and other marine life during the cruise. Both of which makes for a wonderful experience.
