The ss Rotterdam in the Netherlands

Worldhotels has welcomed the 'unique' ss Rotterdam, a floating hotel-ship located in the Dutch city of the same name.

More than fifty years after its maiden voyage, the flagship of the Holland America Line fleet has taken a prime, and permanent berth at Katendrecht in the heart of Rotterdam.

Designed to reflect its 1950's origins, the floating hotel features a distinctive shape and colour scheme throughout its 254 modern rooms.

Worldhotels’ executive vice president Asia Pacific, Roland Jegge, said the ss Rotterdamn reflected another fantastic first for the Worldhotels group.

“The ship holds an iconic position in the maritime tradition of the Netherlands, and in the last two years it has become an insider’s tip for travellers visiting Rotterdam for business or pleasure."
