The ms Veendam became the fourth sister in the successful Statendam
class of ships. Like all Holland America Line ships, she was
designed with the intent for World wide cruising and hosts a spectacular
array of art and pieces from history.
She has evolved for modern day cruising when she received the Signature
of Excellence enhancements and is always adapting to Holland America
Line's forward-looking marketing initiatives.

corridor photography salutes both the history of Holland America Line and
also depicts modern day ships in various ports from around the globe.
