ss Rotterdam

ss Rotterdam is permanently located in the port of Rotterdam and has fully equipped spaces for a meeting, a multi-day congress, or a large staff event.

ss Rotterdam, The start of new memories

Thousands of passengers were exuberantly waved goodbye or joyfully welcomed in the ports during the years that the ss Rotterdam was in service of the Holland - America Line as a scheduled service and cruise ship. Since 2010, La Grande Dame has had only one permanent home port in the south-central area of Rotterdam at the Katendrecht quay, where it now serves as a hotel, event location, and attraction.

“The ss Rotterdam offers every guest a unique experience with a worldly view of the magical skyline of Rotterdam.”

Meetings & Events
The ss Rotterdam takes care of the planning, organizing, and executing of your inspiring meeting, multi-day congress, or unforgettable staff event. The ss Rotterdam has beautiful authentic rooms equipped with all modern facilities. There are various break-out rooms such as a stunning Grand Ballroom, a heavenly Sky Room, the magnificent Odyssee Room, and La Fontaine Room (the former dining rooms) and a unique Theatre that accommodates 500 guests! The fully equipped spaces on the ship can accommodate up to 3,500 guests. Combine several rooms and break up your meeting with various culinary breaks, or end the day with an informal drinks reception or a cozy dinner. 

Hotel & Restaurants & Tours
There is an option to stay overnight during your event, as there is also a 4-star hotel on board. The hotel has 254 hotel rooms, divided into three special themes: Manhattan, Bahamas, and Original. The themes were chosen based on the cruises the ship made in earlier times. Start your day with an extensive International cruise breakfast in the casual restaurant Lido Grill, enjoy drinks in the afternoon in the Captains Lounge or the Ocean Wine Bar, and end the evening with a culinary dinner in the Club Room. If you want to surprise your guests extra during a meeting, how about a tour that shows what a large cruise ship has to offer and what life on board was like in the past?

Escape Rooms
Give your meeting on board an extra boost with an outing in one of our escape rooms, the cool room, or the metro. These rooms are located on the D Deck, which is at the bottom of the ship. During the escape game, collaboration among participants is required to find the right clues and codes, make the correct connections, and ultimately solve the puzzles. Participants have only 60 minutes to escape! 

Complete Organization
The combination of the 4-star hotel, 12 beautiful authentic rooms, 29 modern meeting rooms, in-house catering, good accessibility, the best new technology, and the authentic decor ensures that the ss Rotterdam is an attractive meeting and event location. A meeting on board means that you are completely taken care of.
