SS Rotterdam Steam Ship Tickets

Avoid the queues and step inside the steamship SS Rotterdam with fast-track tickets. This is an experience of about an hour where you will have the opportunity to see inside and out the last great Dutch 'ship of state', which has now been converted into a hotel and museum. You will have access to an audio guide and headphones to listen to all the stories that have been collected on this ship since it was inaugurated in 1958.

This ship, also known as "The Grande Dame", is a former ocean liner and cruise ship, which since 2010 has been a hotel ship in Rotterdam. She was chartered by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands at a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958 and her career lasted forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.

Along the tour you will go to the lower decks. Today, the engine rooms are technically "retired", but they are still an impressive sight. Along the way you will learn about the ingenious system of evaporators, boilers, turbines and generators that provided all the power.

You will also have the chance to explore all the spaces, from the bow to the cockpit and even the chart room and radio room.
