Experience the world's smartest ports in all its glory!
Among the busy traffic of sea-going and inland ships, this trip is a special journey through one of the largest harbours in the world. You can see Rotterdam's impressive skyline with its imposing buildings glide by, and then get a unique view of the harbours shipyards, docks and the hypermodern transshipping of thousands of containers. Last but not least the tour will end with a view of the steamship 'Rotterdam', the former cruise flagship of shipping company Holland America Line. An exciting 75 minutes with clear descriptions of everything you see.
Why a boat tour in the Port area of Rotterdam?
During the tour you will experience Rotterdam as it is: raw and industrial. With a surface area of more than 12,600 hectares, the port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe and the period of growth is far from over. The port is definitely not boring and ugly. It is the beating heart of the region. The tour takes you through the history and the current status of the port of Rotterdam.
Skyline Rotterdam
During the cruise you will have a beautiful view of the impressive skyline of Rotterdam. Of all the striking features of Rotterdam, the architecture is perhaps the most impressive. Almost no two buildings are the same, but it has not always been like that.
Rotterdam, the second largest city of the Netherlands, looks nothing like the other Dutch cities. This change in appearance is the result of the bombing during the Second World War. Instead of rebuilding a copy of the city, it was decided to build a totally new, modern city - something Rotterdam did with great enthusiasm. Everything - from the swan-shaped Erasmus Bridge to the imposing high-rise buildings - is worth seeing and will be covered on the tour.
