Ramping Up to Rotterdam: A Visit to the Shipyard
Last week Brand Ambassador Seth Wayne flew to Italy to visit Rotterdam at the Fincantieri shipyards in Marghera and Trieste. Seth was at Marghera before the ship left for sea trials and made way to Trieste for a quick dry dock before returning back to Marghera. Not only did he spend time on the ship, he also spent time under it! Enjoy the photos, and be sure to visit Seth’s Facebook page to see videos of him walking through the ship with Stan Kuppens, as well as talking to several members of the ship’s senior team (including Captain Timmers).

As a five star member of HAL we ( Johanna and I ) sailed on most of HAL ships and
loved all of them , booked on the Hawai cruise in 2022 on the Koningsdam.
Hope to sail in the near future on this beoutyful new ship the ms.Rotterdam .
Looks so beautiful. Loving the colors. We’re hoping our Christmas wishes come true in Antarctica aboard Westerdam with many more adventures ahead, including aboard Rotterdam.
We have four Rotterdam cruises booked, starting with an 11-day S. Caribbean cruise in Dec. 2021. Hope she sails! Sailed on the Koningsdam in Jan. 2020 and loved the Pinnacle Class ship.
We’re booked on the sister ship, Nieuw Statendam for Dec. and hope it goes. Looking forward to her.
