Historic ships, modern city
A closer look at the city’s story
Rotterdam’s inner harbours bring together different sides of the city. Historic ships lie between modern buildings, and the quays reveal its connection with the water. Your skipper adds context to the surroundings as you enjoy the journey.
The operating area includes Oude Haven, Wijnhaven, Leuvehaven, Scheepmakershaven, Haringvliet, Boerengat and Buizengat. The actual route depends on conditions. This tour does not go onto the Maas, and a visit to every harbour is not guaranteed.
Sheltered & historic
The operating area: seven inner harbours
1 Oude Haven
2 Wijnhaven
3 Leuvehaven
4 Scheepmakershaven
5 Haringvliet
6 Boerengat
7 Buizengat
The tour stays in the sheltered inner harbours and does not go onto the Maas. Which harbours you see in one hour depends on conditions on the water.
