Mid-Century Cruise Ship Style

Mid-Century Cruise Ship Style

The SS Rotterdam, also known as “The Grande Dame”, is a former ocean liner and cruise ship, and has been a hotel ship in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, since 2010.

She was launched by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in a gala ceremony on September 13, 1958, and was completed the following summer. The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch “ship of state”, employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process.

Her career spanned forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000. This is what she looked like before she sailed. Mid-century style at its finest!
