Rare love2crews. Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Any info on the Rotterdam Cruise port? We will be embarking from Rotterdam on a Celebrity cruise and I'm struggling to find info on the Celebrity terminal at the port. I know several sailings have changed ports from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, so hoping those can chime in who have experienced this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseaholic78 Posted February 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Here is some useful general information, if you are looking for something different regarding pre cruise hotel you could look at the old SS Rotterdam. https://www.whatsinport.com/Rotterdam.htm https://ssrotterdam.nl/ happy planning Rosalyn 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted February 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Rotterdam is one terminal building, easy to navigate. Usually there's one ship at a time. www.cruiseportrotterdam.nl emmaonline.co.uk/rotterdam-cruise-port/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located at Wilhelminakade 699, Rotterdam. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nowhere to store luggage except by standing at the carriage doors. We used Staxi last September from Amsterdam Schiphol to Rotterdam and also at the end of the cruise from Rotterdam to AMS. Good service, punctual, clean cars. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare love2crews. Posted February 24, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Glad to hear there is only one ship at a time-that should make it more manageable for us. We already have hotel and transport set-up. 🙂 I just like to have an idea of what to expect upon our arrival. Thank you everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we will arrive with our luggage at 1PM and will check in to the ship. Wondering if there are things to do/see close to the ship - something fun to do for the afternoon before the ship leaves.

Next to the cruise terminal in Rotterdam is Hotel New York, which once was the headoffice of HAL. The restaurants is worth a visit. A bit more farther away is the former ss Rotterdam, now a hotel with restaurant. Also worth a visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory2020 Posted April 5, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I am visiting as a port stop. Are there things to see or do within walking distance or should I do an excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquare Posted April 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I found myself a little confused by this website (https://en.rotterdam.info/locations/cruise-terminal-rotterdam-en/) which presents the Cruise Terminal as an event venue. Same address as appears on other websites for the Cruise Terminal, 699 Wilhelminakade, but of course no way of knowing how long it has been since a website was updated. Leads me to wonder if this is a former cruise terminal that has been recycled into something else, or if it is still the terminal but now also a dual-use building. If the latter, hard for me to imagine the bustle and confusion of an embarkation coexisting somehow with a business meeting or convention. Other web sites talk about the old Holland-Amerika HQ, now the Hotel New York, as being "across the street" from the cruise terminal, and there is indeed a Port of Rotterdam building right across the street from the hotel. Can anyone unconfuse me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The header photo on that website page seems to show the current cruise terminal. If that's right, then I imagine that any such "coexisting" would only occur if the venue was accidentally double-booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted April 25, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 25, 2023 That is the cruise terminal ok. It is also used as an exhibition hall etc. It is just a short walk down the street from Hotel New York, which is indeed the old Holland America HQ. No point in having a building idle for many days during the winter when there are no cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
