Cruise Port Rotterdam is a one-stop office for anything you require in Rotterdam, basically as a free of charge service to the cruise liner. We can assist with maritime and tourist requests and any other service item you might wish for. In addition to the general calls and turn-around visits of your cruise ships we can assist with local matters concerning organising special events when your cruise ship visits Rotterdam, including press assistance.
The city centre of Rotterdam can be easily reached. After a 2 hour voyage from the North Sea, ships moor at the Cruise Terminal Rotterdam, next to the Erasmus bridge. There is a 698m quay available. The depth at the quayside is 12m. Ships can turn around in front of the terminal at Rijnhaven (turning circle about 260m) or at Waalhaven (turning circle about 360m). The historic terminal building is equipped with a covered boarding bridge and in the terminal a tourist information desk is available as well as some stands with old handicrafts and other Dutch items and a taxi service desk. In front of the terminal shuttle buses are available to bring passengers to the centre of Rotterdam.
Of course the famous cities are those we know of – Paris – London – Amsterdam. And rightfully so, but it is a pleasure to introduce the wealth of sights, history and worthwhile places that we might not know of yet. Places such as Rotterdam with its vast surroundings of possibilities right there for you to explore only one hour away from Amsterdam or Antwerp (Belgium).
Rotterdam is one of the largest ports in the world and as the port expanded and moved towards the sea, its character and new exciting concept moved into the city centre of Rotterdam. Contemporary art, essential post-war architecture, 35 museums, 40 different cuisines, great shopping – boutique style, a variety of bric-a-brac and antiques, historic Delfshaven, where the Pilgrim Fathers left to found the United States of America. Rotterdam is a true combination of old and new.
