on board with us
Around Rotterdam works with international cruise lines that choose certainty and quality. With our local expertise and complete vertical integration, we are a reliable partner. Together, we make sure Rotterdam isn’t just a stop, but a highlight of the cruise.
From ship to city center
We design complete programs that match your guests’ experience. From iconic highlights to hidden gems, always tailored to nationality, group size, and schedule. Every cruise receives a program that is unique, flexible, and fully taken care of.
River cruises
River cruise guests are often European, a bit older, and looking for peace and personal attention. We respond to that with small-scale excursions and personal guidance, from city walks to culinary stops.
Ocean cruises
We have extensive experience with ocean cruises and understand their dynamics: large groups, diverse ages, and passengers from all over the world. Our programs combine iconic highlights with premium experiences, always tailored to an international audience.
Innovative, surprising, and always tailored to your route
