MS Volendam is a Rotterdam-class cruise ship operated by Holland America Line and the third vessel to bear that name in the company's fleet. The ship features a floral design theme throughout, including a three-deck sculpture in the atrium created by Luciano Vistosi, and was christened by tennis player Chris Evert. Notable achievements include becoming the largest ship to sail under Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge and serving as a floating hotel during Super Bowl XXXIX.
