Your Ship

Rotterdam

The seventh Holland America ship to carry the name, and the one that got the name by accident

Aboard

  • Ordered as Ryndam and renamed Rotterdam in July 2020, after the previous Rotterdam was sold
  • The third and last Pinnacle-class hull, delivered by Fincantieri in July 2021
  • Christened by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands in May 2022
  • Refitted in April 2026 in the Port of Rotterdam, her namesake harbor
  • Two live-music stages added in that refit, in the Crow's Nest and by the aft pool
  • Summers based at Rotterdam, winters at Fort Lauderdale

Ashore

Where You Stop

Rhodes

Kusadasi

Europe

The Greek Isles

Whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, harbors the color of a swimming pool, and ruins you walk through rather than past; the Aegean is small enough that a week reaches a genuine cross-section of it.
