I'm only just too young to have missed out on transatlantic travel by sea, rather than air, and this was a great chance to see such a well-preserved earlier technology. It's especially charming that you occasionally meet guides who once served upon (and obviously loved) the ship in its heyday, and we particularly enjoyed clambering around the engine rooms! Just...

We were a little disappointed with SS Rotterdam, we went for a look round and had a drink. It just lacked atmosphere, and was very quiet. It just felt like it needed to be full of people, sailing out at sea. It's free to look round unless you have a guided tour. More

De Rotterdam is a 1960s vessel used as a cruise liner by the Holland America Line until the year 2000. Since 2010, it is located in Rotterdam. Parts of it are used as a hotel, the other parts including two bars and two restaurants, still have more or less the original spirit and design of the 1960s. Visitors can go... More
