Creator's Key Takeaways
Rotterdam is also one of the easiest cruise ports in northern Europe to explore independently.
Amsterdam is only about an hour away by train, which is why many cruise passengers choose to head there for the day.
Cruise ships dock at the Cruise Terminal Rotterdam on the Wilhelminapier, right in the heart of the city.
One important tip is that tickets for the Anne Frank House usually sell out weeks in advance.
