The ROTTERDAM of 1959 in Wilhelmshaven


The steamship ROTTERDAM of 1959 alongside the shipyard at Wilhelmshaven on 9 June 2008 undergoing conversion into hotel and museum ship. She is scheduled to open in Rotterdam later this year.
The ROTTERDAM was one of the most successful passenger ships built on the twentieth century and one of two survivors of the defunct Premier Cruises fleet, the other being the OCEANIC of Pullmantur.
