Holland America Line : MS Volendam

Image
Holland America Line is an American/British owned cruise line. One of it's ship, MS Volendam, came to Indonesia for a few times earlier this year. I took a peek of what's inside the ship and it was not good. But it was amazing. It's classy but cozy at the same time. She has all the perfect facilities you'd need for your vacation. She has pools, hot tubs, casino, basketball court, fancy restaurant, gym, lounging areas, dining room and she also offers you a great service. I'd definitely recommend MS Volendam for a cruise vacation.
