Volendam Cruise Ship Travel from Hong Kong to Singapore

Now we are aboard the Holland America Volendam cruise ship and are sailing out of Victoria Harbour heading for Vietnam.  This is an exciting itinerary with stops in Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Nha Trang in Vietnam before heading to Cambodia and Thailand on this adventurous itinerary. Holland America also operates The Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Zaandam ships as well.

The Volendam is host to over 1,400 passengers which by today’s standards is a mid-sized ship.  Now it’s time to get settled in and check out the ship. There are plenty of things to do like see a show, check out board games or books from the library, hit the gym for some treadmill action or participate in one of the planned activities.  Every evening, your room steward will put out a new activity guide for the following day.
