FROM SHIP TO NEXT DESTINATION
Private taxi from Rotterdam Cruise Terminal
The passenger terminal is on Wilhelminakade at Kop van Zuid, Rotterdam. We agree on a permitted pickup point outside the terminal after you disembark.
Cruise port → Rotterdam Central Station
Travel directly to Rotterdam Centraal for your onward train. Request a sedan or passenger van according to your group and luggage.
Cruise port → hotel or other airport
Transfers to Rotterdam hotels, Rotterdam The Hague Airport and other destinations. Inbound transfers to the port before embarkation are also available on request. Hotel pickups.
Pickup is subject to terminal access and traffic arrangements. Direct collection at the ship's gangway is not assumed.
A FEW HOURS ASHORE?
See a little more of the Netherlands
Prefer a personal outing over a fixed group timetable? Enjoy a private drive with agreed stops for photographs, a walk or a visit to a local highlight. The time available before boarding or a flight helps determine what is realistic.
Kinderdijk · iconic Dutch windmills
Discover the landscape of 19 historic windmills at UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk. Choose a photo stop or time to explore the museum mills and waterways. Access, parking or shuttle arrangements and admission are confirmed separately.
Rotterdam · city highlights
A personalised city drive past the Erasmus Bridge, Markthal, Cube Houses, Euromast and historic Delfshaven. See Rotterdam's architecture, waterfront and maritime character at your own pace.
Delft · canals and Dutch heritage
Explore Delft's atmospheric historic centre, canals and Market Square, known for Delft Blue pottery and Dutch history. Return to the ship or continue to your hotel or airport as agreed.
Longer routes, such as The Hague, can be discussed according to your schedule. This is private chauffeur transport with optional sightseeing stops, not an included guided tour or official cruise-line shore excursion. Attraction admission and guided visits are separate unless agreed in writing.
