Embark on the GCCC Christmas Cruising on Sunday 15 December!
The year is almost over. We can look back on enjoying many domestic and foreign events. But before the year is finally over, we have one more time to get together.
This time it will be a bit different from the usual. After all those kilometres of driving, we have now chosen to sail (well, float actually) on the former flagship of the Holland America Line, SS Rotterdam, moored in Katendrecht, Rotterdam.
From 16:00 you are most welcome on the SS Rotterdam. We welcome you and have arranged special parking spaces, right in front of the ship, so not in the regular car park.
After a welcome drink in the Captain’s Lounge, you can join one of the two guided tours:
Blow away the cobwebs and wave: Showing you everything above deck, including all the art objects for which the ss Rotterdam is famous: from bridge to ballroom and everything in between.
Steam and Chrome: For the tech lovers among us: Showing you the technical heart of the ship. Including the steam boilers and turbines.
After the tour, we will return to the Lido restaurant for a Captain’s Dinner, where we can end the year festively.
What does it cost?
The fee for participating is € 23.70 per person. For this you get a drink and you can choose from one of the two tours.
The three-course dinner is € 46.50 per person.
The parking costs are € 15 per car. If you come by car, this amount is added to the total amount. We would like to ask you to indicate on the registration form in the comments whether or not you are coming by car.

We hope to welcome you in large numbers and are looking forward to it!
