Rotterdam is the first port to welcome the biggest cruise ship in the world, Harmony of the Seas, for a transit to a cruise (24 May). This will be after a visit from shipping company RCL’s new Ovation of the Seas, on 15 April. Next, Rotterdam’s cruise terminal will welcome yet another ship every week, even two every now and then. AIDAprima will return to the cruise terminal, at the very heart of the city, all year round. Cruise Port Rotterdam could not be prouder.
