Veendam

The cruise ship Veendam is designed specifically to provide a higher level of service and greater spaciousness on board with fewer passengers.

The ship's design follows a floral theme. From classic paintings depicting floral still lifes to flowers painted on the ceiling in the Piano Bar - everything adheres to a unified style.

At the center of the three-story atrium is a breathtaking faceted sculpture depicting the biblical Jacob's Ladder.

On board the Veendam, you will find everything necessary for a comfortable sea voyage: numerous bars, cafes, and fine dining restaurants, theaters featuring performances by artists and musicians, a magnificent spa, and even The Culinary Arts Center, where you can participate in culinary shows and tastings!
