Closing Thoughts

 

Many have claimed that the Volendam is the 'perfect' size by being only under 62,000 GRT.  With there only being 1,432 guest, Volendam is much more moderately sized than many of the ships in the cruise industry.

Another very telling feature of the Volendam is her close link to Dutch tradition and classic appointments throughout.

While being an icon of tradition, her hardware has been upgraded to reflect modern day guest preferences.  Each stateroom is fitted with the Mariner's Dream bed (plush, Euro top mattresses), fine linens, fluffy Egyptian cotton towels and bathrobes, massage showerheads, and flat-screen televisions.

Volendam herself is a nod to Dutch culture with her name coming from a city name in the Netherlands.  Guests who wish to explore the World in fine luxury and comfort will fall in love with Volendam and be eager to see where she will be sailing next.
