SS ROTTERDAM Ocean Liner
The SS
Rotterdam, also known as "The Grande Dame", is a former
ocean liner and cruise ship, and has been a hotel ship
in Rotterdam, Netherlands, since 2010. She was launched
by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands on 13 September
1958. On her maiden voyage she carried the then Crown
Princess of the Netherlands to New York.
The
Rotterdam ocean liner was the last great Dutch "ship of
state", employing the finest artisans from the
Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process.
Her career spanned forty-one years. 748 feet in length,
the SS Rotterdam is the largest passenger liner ever
built in the Netherlands. She was considered the
legendary flagship of the Holland America Line.

SS Rotterdam is now a hotel and tourist attraction in
her old home port of Rotterdam. The ship has largely
maintained her original character and remains in good
condition. She was restored in Poland and Germany
and on 15 February 2010, the vessel opened to the public
as a combination museum/hotel and school for vocational
training.
Rotterdam
is the last remaining ex-Premier Cruise Line vessel
still afloat, the former
Starship Atlantic was scrapped in 2018.
