The SS Rotterdam, launched in 1959, is the former flagship of the Holland America Line and one of the most iconic ocean liners ever built in the Netherlands. Designed for both transatlantic crossings and luxury cruises, she combined Dutch engineering with elegant mid-century interiors. After decades of service, the ship was retired and permanently moored in the city of Rotterdam, where it now serves as a floating hotel, restaurant, and event venue. Visitors can explore its beautifully restored decks and public rooms, experiencing both maritime history and a unique glimpse into the golden age of ocean travel.
