Cruises to Rotterdam in 2026 & 2027

Rotterdam is a major port city in the Netherlands, known for modern architecture, riverside development and a different feel from older Dutch cities. Cruise ships often dock close to the centre, with the Erasmus Bridge, waterfront, Markthal and Cube Houses within reach. The city was heavily rebuilt after the Second World War, which explains its bold skyline and wide streets. Visitors can explore by tram, boat or on foot, with museums, shops and food halls close by. Rotterdam is also a possible gateway for Delft, The Hague or Amsterdam. Still, it works well as a city stop in its own right.
