If you went to the link provided and did a right click to download, you got a file that gave instructions to the browser to play the audio. the actual link is contained within the text of that file. I just verified the file a few minutes ago.

Success - I managed to play it via iTunes and recorded it as a voice memo on my iPhone, which I put right next to the speaker. My iTunes on the computer hasn't been updated in possibly years since I download directly into the phone and pad. Certainly I haven't synced in ages between the computer and phone. But now I have the whole 40 minute tour and I can send the file via text to others. Essentially I listened to the whole tour and there might be a few pieces that are no longer onboard but I think most of it should still be in the same locations.

Awesome! Thanks for thinking of internet archive.

I loaded the Eurodam Art Tour MP3 here:

I converted the full set to MP3 if anyone's interested.

Back from the Eurodam.  I didn't do the self guided tour but the ship activities did include on two sea days:  "Art Walk with Art Specialist Claudia".  Claudia was the assistant art director (from Holland) and very knowledgeable about the pictures and statues on the ship.  She gave the background of the artists in the forward and aft stairwell landings, a lot of info about Rembrandt in the center stairwell landings, and details about a variety of other pieces in different venues and hallways.  She said that every time a ship goes to dry dock, the art gets moved around so much that it's hard for them to track everything down. I  imagine one could go to her and ask about other works of art that weren't on her tour.  Claudia was a definite asset to the cruise.

The first work is prints of self portraits of Rembrandt at different times of his life.

The second work is supposed to represent a family.  Everyone has the same parts but they're arranged differently.  I think the guy on the left is the one who sat across from me on the tender back to ship at Cabo - I had called the statue Manspread in my mind and that's exactly what my fellow passenger did the next day.

How wonderful! I would love that!

I also learned that the model palace at our elevator bank was the oldest piece of art on the ship.
