The Photo Gallery is located outside of the Showroom at Sea on the port side and here, guests may purchase photos that have been taken throughout their cruise.

Promenade Deck is home to essential service venues such as the Front Office and the Shore Excursions Deck.  Across from the Front Office is a bronze VOC gun from 1700.

Between the Front Office and the Shore Excursions Desk is a bronze bust of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

Walking from the Half Moon and Hudson Room forward, guests can view 'Tosei Gosuku' armor from late 17th century Japan.  'Tosei Gosuku' means 'modern equipment' and responded to the needs of the mid 16th century warriors.

The Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine Magazine is a unique and entertaining experience for guests to watch cooking demonstrations or even participate on their own.  It is theatre style with a state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen featuring plasma video screens throughout the venue.  Both cooking demonstrations and hands on classes are featured here by staff and featured chefs.

The ship's party planner also hosts activities here such as the art of flower arranging, ice carving, cake decorating, plate presentation and garnishing, easy entertaining, and more.

Kids, tweens, and teens are also invited to take part in classes in the Culinary Arts Center, whether or not they are registered for Club HAL.

This area is still used as the Wajang Theater for guests who enjoy viewing current release films along with fresh popcorn.  Across from the Culinary Arts Center is a wine tasting bar where guests can sample wines and purchase them for shipment home.

Large groups, such as incentives, will take interest in using the Half Moon and Hudson Rooms aboard the Veendam, with a capacity of 120 occupants.  Both the Half Moon and Hudson Rooms have audio and visual technology for presentations.

Within the Half Moon Room is a collectors' cabinet on stand dating from the 19th century, England.  It houses ancient Egypt items such as 'ushabti', 'Hydria', and 'Kylix'.  'Amphora' earthenware from Greece can be found here as well.  Italian works can also be seen here, such as a plaster figure of a wounded Amazon from the late 19th / early 20th century.

Formerly the Rubens Lounge, this venue has evolved to become the Showroom at Sea.  The Showroom at Sea is a modern day take on the classic nightclub, featuring state-of-the-art technology and a different show and themed entertainment nightly.

The concept is to have a seamless transition between the stage and room, with newly arrange seating for guests to combine cocktails, dancing, and the show.  Each evening features unique drink menus and table settings.
