Docked in Rotterdam’s harbor since 2010, the SS Rotterdam, a vintage Holland America Line cruise ship, now serves as a floating hotel, restaurant, and event center. This historic ocean liner offers visitors the chance to explore its decks, engine rooms, bridge, and other areas through guided or audio tours. Originally launched in 1958, the ship provides a tangible link to the city’s maritime heritage, allowing guests to experience the textures and spaces of a bygone era of sea travel.
