Grandly proportioned and designed to carry fewer guests than other ships in her class, the ms Veendam offers guests an extra measure of space. Enjoy the two-tiered Rotterdam Dining Room with grand sweeping staircase, and suites with private verandahs for airy, outdoor relaxing and sunning. Multiple lounges provide choices for leisurely evenings. A wide teak deck affords ample room for strolling and deck chairs for those who wish to sit and watch the sea roll by.

Just a few of the places you'll find onboard.

Dining Room
At every turn, you will encounter opportunities to sample and savor our delectable cuisine. Each tempting venue has its own flavor. Such as the beautiful main dining room, lavished with rare art and radiating elegance.

You are summoned to dine by the melodious call from the chimemaster as he walks the corridors. You and your friends are seated at a table clad in snowy linen, where silver and stemware sparkle, fresh flowers bloom and anticipation fills the air.

Your waiter - ever attentive to your wishes - helps you choose from the menu's riches, all the way to the climax of the irresistible dessert.

Atrium
The Atrium is a sublime arena of grand dimension, tempered by soft hues and the gentle play of light and glass. With its central location, the lively atrium is the focal point of the ship.

Lido Dining
Holland America was the first in the cruise industry to introduce a full Lido Restaurant on all ships. Come for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner on selected nights. The Lido features both an indoor, air-conditioned restaurant and portable buffet bars outside on the deck, offering a menu that is sure to please everyone.
