A stroll down Nieuw Statendam’s Music Walk is a symphonic treat for the ears. You’ll notice throughout the ship that she is sprinkled with stunning sculptures and designs that take inspiration from the elegant curves of musical instruments.
There’s plenty for you to discover, but if you check out the deck plan, you may notice some familiar composers' names featured as names for the decks. Featured below, join us for a stroll down Music Walk’s venues and other entertainment onboard; even better when you find out they’re all included and only a stone's throw away from each other.
B.B. King’s Blues Club
Deck 2
The first stop is B.B. King’s Blues Club, an incredibly atmospheric, dimly lit venue that offers exceptional talent and toe-tapping music to accompany. You’ll be transported to an authentic take on a blend of blues and jazz, where the talented performers shine on stage as the crystal chandeliers sparkle above. You may be thinking that jazz and blues aren’t your style. Head along and let the performers convince you that there is a genre you’re yet to discover and love, as they may have some other surprises up their sleeves! There’s plenty of space in this two-tiered venue, with a dance floor in the middle and tables and chairs surrounding it. No seat is a bad seat at B.B. King’s!
Highlight: Be sure to visit B.B. King’s for the Orange Party, a true voyage highlight with incredible energy from the performers and an amazing atmosphere in a sea of orange.
Billboard Onboard
Deck 2
Our next stop is a more intimate experience, with a piano in the middle of the lounge and seats spiralled around where you can interact with the performer of the night and really immerse yourself in the music. During the day, enjoy this venue to test your music trivia, then return in the evening for performances of chart-topping music and request songs to hear live. This venue works in sync with the Rolling Stone Lounge just across the way, so just as one ends, the other starts, ensuring you’ll never miss out on the best music.
Rolling Stone Lounge
Deck 2
Across the way from Billboard Onboard is the Rolling Stone Lounge, home to a 7-piece band bringing you the best music in rock, pop, country and more. The talented band command the room and is to be admired, making it almost impossible not to dance. But, if you prefer, there are plenty of spaces to relax and enjoy the beat with a drink from the bar situated towards the back of the venue. Much like Billboard Onboard, you’ll be able to experience both venue’s performances as they work in conjunction and can be heard from both.
World Stage
Deck 3
At the tip of Music Walk is the two-storey World Stage, an incredibly unique theatre featuring an innovative LED screen that creates a vivid wraparound display and really immerses you in the show for the evening. Whether you’re watching a comedian, a musical or a singer, the shows are mesmerising and offer an open and light space to experience them in.
Highlight: A brand-new show, Class Act, is a performance dedicated to the most influential women in music throughout the years and includes exceptional talent and well known songs that will have you up on your feet dancing.
