Frequently asked questions

  • We take full control, from the request to the execution on the quay. This means no loose ends and no breakdowns in communication. With our own team, trusted partners, and local knowledge, we ensure continuity and reliability. Our team works closely with the cruise line, adapts when needed, and delivers a flawless execution every time, which is appreciated by both guests and hotel managers.
  • We have several years of experience with both ocean and river cruises and have been working with international cruise lines and hotel managers. During this time, we’ve built a broad network and developed a strong reputation. Our experience means we know what’s happening in the industry and can quickly respond to the needs of different audiences.
  • Our base is in Rotterdam, but our experience and offerings extend beyond the city. In addition to iconic Rotterdam highlights, we also take guests to the region: historic cities like Dordrecht and Delft, or typical Dutch experiences outside the city limits. This way, we offer not just an impression of Rotterdam, but a complete Dutch experience.
  • Professionalism, reliability, and humanity are at the core of everything we do. We say what we do and do what we say. This attitude translates into clear communication, efficient organization, and top-level hospitality. We believe that quality truly matters when combined with personal attention and a warm, Rotterdam-style approach.
