Lower Promenade Deck - Volendam

The Volendam features a 360-degree wrap-around teak promenade deck. Located completely forward on Lower Promenade Deck is access to the ship's bow. This is a spectacular feature for scenic cruising days whether it be in Glacier Bay National Park or Fjordland National Park in New Zealand.
Indoors, Lower Promenade Deck is the base of the expansive three deck high Atrium. Also located here area essential offices of the Hotel Manager, Cruise Director, and Food & Beverage Manager. Guest accommodations are also on Lower Promenade Deck as well as a self-service launderette. Self service launderettes are also available on Dolphin Deck, Main Deck, and Verandah Deck.


By far the most eye-catching work of art in the Atrium is the Sculpture 'Caleido' by artist Luciano Vistosi of Italy. 'Caleido' was cute and fused of Murano glass. Vistosi, appropriately, was born on the island of Murano. He had always been intrigued by the moods and colors of a simple kaleidoscope. Furthermore, he hoped that 'Caleido', with its continually changing and shifting of colors, would help guests relive the fantastic dreams of their childhood. Vistosi also designed the glass sculptures 'Totem' on Maasdam and 'Jacob's Ladder' on the Veendam.

Guests may relax in an aft-facing deck chair to enjoy the sounds of the ship's wake, read a good book, or just take a nap.
