Taken During Inaugural Cuba Cruise. When we toured Holland America Line ’s 781-foot long, 1,432-guest Volendam in the port of Vancouver, it was a grey, cold and uninspiring day in the month that was quickly becoming famous locally as “Juneuary” for its unseasonable weather.

Volendam

The 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.

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. At the heart of the ship an elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope, greets visitors in a soaring three-story atrium.
