ms Volendam Overview:

The beautiful garden theme of the ms Volendam is revealed in an artful floral motif throughout the ship’s roomy public rooms and chic staterooms. “Flowers” can be found in great quantity in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as giant vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums.

In addition to fresh flowers throughout the ship, Holland America Line has drawn on its collection of incredible artwork to enhance the interior of the ship’s public spaces. Everything from pre-Columbian fetishes and sculptures to Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy are included in its hallway galleries. An elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope is found at the heart of the ship to greet visitors in a soaring three-story atrium.
