The ship itself is called the Volendam.

The Volendam has an alternative restaurant, a third staircase for convenient access to public rooms and a children's play room, as well as more of the popular mini-suites with verandahs.

There are ten passenger decks and a three-deck oval atrium. The atrium is punctuated by a monumental glass sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, one of Italy's leading contemporary glass artists.

The beautiful garden theme of the Volendam includes an artful floral motif throughout the ship's spacious public rooms and elegant staterooms. "Flowers" can be found in abundance on her public decks and in unexpected places in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as huge vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums. This beautiful ship accommodates 1,440 guests.

In addition, the ship's public spaces are full of artwork from pre-Columbian fetishes and sculptures to Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy. At the heart of the ship an elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope.

Hotwire Hotels in Florida

Thinking of spending Labor Day in Florida? Check out some hotel deals from Hotwire.com

Stay in a 4-star hotel in North Fort Lauderdale for just $52 a night.

To get this good deal, though, you need to travel on specific dates and be willing to stay for from 4 to 7 nights.

Of course, when you're getting these good deals, it means that all bookings are final - no exchanges and no refunds.

Hotwire can also get you pretty good deals on rental cars. The stricture here is that you must be over 25 years old to rent a car. Economy cars are just $20.95 a day, and you get unlimited mileage - as long as you're returning the car to the same location that you picked it up. (but of course you'll want optional insurance, just to be on the safe side!).

A 3-star hotel in Fort Lauderdale is currently going for $45 a night...that's a pretty good deal considering you'll be spending most of your time outside enjoying the city, returning to your hotel room only to sleep!

So check out the deals at Hotline.com today!

New York- The City That Never Sleeps

Meet New York, the city of fast cars and faster people! This is the city that boasts of its sense of timelessness. The city of lights, the city that never sleeps. This is it. This is New York. Where else can you catch a snowflake on your nose whilst standing on the roof of the Empire State Building? Where else can you rub shoulders with people from every culture, every country? Where else can you feel the vibrations of the city in every step you take?

New York is to the US what Paris is to France. It is a city that houses millions of people, in high rises and slums, in Manhattan and Brooklyn. New York has been a tourist destination for many decades. Its sense of urgency, its fascinating history, its superb architecture and mix of cultures makes it a must-see for every person. New Yorkers can never live anywhere else, since New York is an addiction that gets into the blood! This city has long ceased to be an American city; it is an international city.
