 Sealetter Cruise Ship Review: Holland America Line's Rotterdam 1997 World Cruise
But as the ss Rotterdam was due to be retired September 30, 1997, this trip included not only the last World Cruise of this fabled ocean liner but also the last Atlantic Crossing, the route for which she was originally launched in 1959.
In addition to the ship and the opportunity to see so much without the hassle of packing and unpacking, a voyage of this length develops a community of travelers, and their personalities, talents and interests are the core of what one carries away after the trip itself has come to an end.
One of the great ignominies of the Rotterdam V was having to be towed (sometimes backwards!) to our berth, but such was the result of her limited self-contained maneuverability.

Wild, a Vancouver-based ship's captain, would like to bring the Rotterdam, Holland America's flagship, to North Vancouver City when she is retired later this year.
The Rotterdam is being retired at the end of its 1997 Alaska run in September because she will no longer meet the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) criteria for ships sailing around the world.
According to Wild, Holland America is warm to the idea, and he believes the company would be interested in running the hotel and convention centre, since it could provide lodging for the company's cruise ship passengers while at port in Vancouver.
