The Terminal
The
cruise terminal is situated in the heart of the Rotterdam city, just
a ten minute walk away from the city centre with all it has to offer.
The terminal is designed to welcome up to 3000 passengers. A luggage
handling scheme can be put together in close co-operation with the customer(s),
in order to meet the specific requirements. Together with Customs, the
service can be extended – in accordance with the applicable rules
and regulations – by including a luggage service from ship side
directly to Rotterdam Airport or vice versa. A fully automatic, covered
boarding bridge leads passengers directly from the cruise ship to the
terminal.
In the historic terminal a tourist information desk is available as well as handicrafts and other Dutch items. In front of the terminal shuttle busses are available to take passengers to the centre of Rotterdam.
As safety issues become more and more important, the Port of Rotterdam is proud to be able to say that effective measures have been taken in this respect. They have been in place for some time, yet safety issues are constantly reviewed and improved. We have received positive reactions from the US Coast Guard for our endeavours in this field.
The terminal as such is a landmark for those, who left Europe for the United States of America with the Holland America Line.
The terminal on Holland America Quay, in the centre of Rotterdam, has been completely renovated and a new 698 metres quay has been constructed, providing safe mooring at the 'new' cruise terminal.
