Creator's Key Takeaways

We're here. Immediately upon boarding, we were transported back in time.

Overall though, our impressions are really good. We'd highly recommend checking this out for unique hotel stay

It's not all that close to the main cruise terminal. If you're going to be staying here pre or post cruise, it's probably 10-minute drive, maybe a 30 minute walk.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider walking from Rotterdam Central Station to the SS Rotterdam to explore the city if the weather is nice.
Book dining reservations in advance if staying on the SS Rotterdam, as the restaurant can get busy.
Check the schedule for public tours on the SS Rotterdam to ensure you can explore the ship fully.

In this video, you’ll get: 🔹 A first-hand look at some of SS Rotterdam’s stunning public areas 🔹 Beautiful outdoor views of this iconic ship 🔹 A full cabin tour of our unique floating hotel room 🔹 A dining experience inside the onboard restaurant 🍽️ Will this one-of-a-kind stay live up to the hype?
