The tour in the engine room was great and our guide Hans was wonderful and very knowledgeable. However the tour around the main decks where you walk by yourself felt a bit disorienting, the audio guide didn’t work in some of the checkpoints or information was available only in Dutch. When you get to the meeting point at the ship, you have no idee where to start the tour, we entered the ship by ourselves and wondered around for quite some minutes before we found a staff member who pointed us to the right deck and where to start the tour. The entire tour took us about 3 hrs, 2 hours the self tour for the upper part of the ship and 1 hour for the guided engine room tour.

Highlights

  • Visit the former flagship of the Holland-America Line
  • Discover the amazing interior of a large luxury oceanliner and explore what life used to be like on board
  • Enjoy a drink or a bite on the stunning terrace of Rotterdam
  • Visit the chart room, radio room, or the original captain's cabin
  • See biggest oceanliner ever built in the Netherlands
  • Choose between the Rotterdam Complete Tour, the Seabreeze Deluxe Tour or the Steam and Chrome Tour

Full description

Take a journey into the past and roam the decks above and under the water line like the world traveller you are. Expect to be dazzled by the stylish decorated rooms before taking time to unwind on the ship's impressive bow.

The Steamship Rotterdam is the biggest oceanliner ever built in the Netherlands. As the former flagship of the Holland-America Line, this ship has sailed many of the world’s seas since 1959. The ship is now moored permanently in the Maashaven in Rotterdam, by Katendrecht.

Look across the monumental bow, watch the heavy windlasses, climb up the towering bridge, check out the chart room, the radio room and visit the original captain’s cabin. Explore the glorious past and follow in the footsteps of emigrants and world travellers by taking the Rotterdam Complete Tour, the Seabreeze Deluxe Tour or the Steam and Chrome Tour.
