The legendary former flagship of the Holland America Line is docked on Katendrecht. The SS Rotterdam is 228 meters long and full of stories.

The ship was built between 1956 and 1959 and sailed for many years between Rotterdam and New York. Later it faced demolition, but it was saved and returned to the city. Since 2008 it has been moored at the quay on Katendrecht, restored with many original details and a 1950s interior.

What you can do here
On board there is plenty to do for all ages. You can join a guided tour or take an audio tour through the engine room to learn how the ship used to operate. For children there are special activities and a playroom on board.

If you enjoy excitement, you can try an escape room such as The Metro or Deep Sea Deception, where you try to escape within an hour.

You can also eat and drink on board in the restaurants and lounges, stay overnight in stylish cabins, or take home a souvenir from the Lijnbaan Shop. The ship also serves as a venue for events, weddings and parties.
