New Photos of Rotterdam Show the Ship’s Steady Progress

Last month “Ramping Up to Rotterdam” with Brand Ambassador Seth Way showed the gorgeous art that is going to be on display aboard the ship. For those of you who missed seeing progress photos, we have a new selection from the Fincantieri shipyard and our own Stan Kuppens to share with you. Carpets are being laid, staterooms are coming together and public areas are becoming identifiable. Enjoy some photos of Rotterdam, and tune into Seth on Facebook April 26 for the next edition of “Ramping Up to Rotterdam.”

    We are looking forward to August 1, 2021! We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure on the Nieuw Statendam for the premier cruise from Civitavecchia to Fort Lauderdale. And now we will be getting to enjoy the Rotterdam for the Premier Voyage and European Splendor. This will be a great way to be welcomed back to HAL Cruises. Your ships have been missed! And most important your crew has really been missed!
