Volendam 
Volendam operates out of Vancouver for 7-night cruises to the fjords of the Alaskan panhandle. From late October 2010 she cruises the South Pacific out of Sydney and Auckland – ports visited include the New Zealand coastline, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. In March 2011 Volendam departs Sydney, via the Great Barrier Reef and Indonesia, to Singapore (18 nights); Singapore via the Asian coastline to Kobe (Japan, 18 nights); Kobe to Vancouver via the Alaskan coastline (17 nights). Cabins are roomy with two twins or one queen bed, sofa convertible to third bed, flat screen TV, and bathrooms with tubs and showers (no tubs with inside cabins). Upgrade to Ocean-view, Verandah or Suite. Room service is excellent, including dine-in service. Twenty-three staterooms accommodate passengers with disabilities. For meals, select set-seating dinner in the striking Rotterdam Dining Room, or walk-in at any time. The Lido, the ship's buffet area, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For an additional charge choose the outstanding alternative restaurant The Pinnacle Grill.
In service since 1999 and refurbished in 2006, MS Volendam measures 61,214 GT and carries 1,432 passengers. During the extensive refit, two decks of balcony cabins were added to the rear of the ship, the rear pool area was restyled with a new pool, and a new duck-tail stern was fitted. Holland America Line’s Signature of Excellence initiative for this ship focuses on five areas: space and elegance; sophisticated dining; gracious, unobtrusive service; extensive enrichment programs; and interesting destinations. The theme aboard the Volendam is flowers and fresh displays. It has plenty of places on deck for solitude, and inside an extensive library, and impressive three-deck atrium with an elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colours of a kaleidoscope. Enrichment and entertainment by day include its demo kitchen and wine tasting, and a favourite focal point is the Explorations Café. The Microsoft Digital workshops that will teach you to make a DVD of your trip or create your own web page or blog. Evening entertainment includes eight bars, a disco, and the two nightly Broadway-style productions in the Show Lounge. A wide variety of shore excursions can be booked for reasonable costs (but book early). Fitness activities include two pools, two hot tubs, courts, jogging course, and of course Spa and Salon treatments. Club HAL caters for 3 to 12 year olds, and The Loft and The Oasis for teens. Expect a mix of seniors, older couples and multi-generational families, and come dress-prepared for formal nights' dining and dancing.
