The Retreat
Holland America Line plans to transform the aft Lido Decks into resort-style pool areas called THE RETREAT. Five ships will be fitted with the focus being a shallow pool area with 44 lounge chairs and built-in benches.
The area is slated for Statendam, Maasdam, Ryndam, Veendam and Rotterdam.
The Retreat’s pool will be divided into three main sections separated by low, curving walls. The middle section is 16 inches deep so passengers can sit on benches in the water. The two side sections will place lounge chairs in eight inches of water. Waterfalls and spouts will enhance the décor. At one end of the pool will be a hot tub.
A pizzeria serving whole pies and slices and a stage will be added, along with a LED screen and sound system to be integrated into each ship’s infrastructure.
This continued phase of HAL’s Signature of Excellence upgrades is scheduled to begin with Veendam’s drydock in the spring, with completion on the Maasdam in early 2011.
