Holland America Line Celebrates Naming Of Rotterdam With Special Voyage
Holland America Line’s newest ship Rotterdam is set to get the royal treatment at a naming ceremony in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, May 30, 2022. Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands will be the ship’s godmother, continuing a Dutch royal tradition that began in the 1920s.
Rotterdam’s special seven-day “Rotterdam Naming Celebration” cruise sails roundtrip from Amsterdam, Netherlands departing May 29, visiting Kristiansand, Stavanger and Flåm, Norway, with scenic cruising in Sognefjord.
Upon the arrival of the ship in Rotterdam, a private ceremony will be held for special-invitation guests that will be broadcast throughout the ship. During the voyage, guests will enjoy special events exclusive to the naming sailing, including a celebratory Gala Dinner and an opportunity to participate in the blessing of the ship’s bell, along with commemorative gifts.
Once the vessel departs Rotterdam, guests will spend the remainder of the voyage exploring the ports of Kristiansand, Stavanger and the breathtaking fjords and quaint villages of Norway. A particular highlight of the itinerary is a day of scenic cruising in Sognefjord. The largest and deepest fjord in Norway, the “King of the Fjords” is one of the world’s most scenic destinations lined with majestic mountains and resplendent landscapes. In Flåm, the famous railway offers an unforgettable experience, climbing from sea level to 2,800 feet, crossing back and forth over rivers and passing through 20 tunnels.
