Atrium
 |
The original Jacob's Ladder was
the biblical Stairway to Heaven. The version you will find in the ms
Veendam's atrium is a spangled three-story spiral of cut crystal, climbing
from floor to ceiling, more luminous and flamboyant than your (or Jacob's )
wildest dreams. |
Crow's Nest Lounge

fashionable gathering spot for cruise guests who enjoy vibrant nightlife.
During the day, sweeping views make the observation lounge a top choice for
relaxing, reading, and sightseeing from comfortable loungers facing out to
the sea. |

style production in the state-of-the-art show lounge or visit one of the
