Highlights

No matter when you visit the Dutch city of Rotterdam, you're in for a wonderful experience on your cruise of the Benelux Countries (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) on your cruise of northwestern Germany or Rhine River cruise. 

The most popular cruises are the "Tulip Time" cruises of the spring season in Holland, where visitors will marvel at the seemingly endless fields of tulips in every hue.

Rotterdam itself is considered one of the best visitor destinations in the region for its modern, sophisticated atmosphere and cultural highlights. Completely rebuilt from the ground up after World War II, the contemporary architecture houses classy restaurants, hotels, and museums.
