FYI: The 38,000 grt, 748-ft. turbine steamships Rotterdam (5) was built by Rotterdamsche Droogkok My, Rotterdam, for the Holland-America Line.
She sailed her first transatlantic voyage to New York on September 3, 1959, the start of a very successful career, serving H.A.L. for 38 years. In 1997, after the Holland-America Line became a subsidiary of Carnival Cruises, the ship was replaced with a new liner carrying the same name. The City of Rotterdam made vain attempts to bring the ship home to the Netherlands, but the ship was purchased by Premier Cruises, which renamed her Rembrandt (then in 2000; Big Red Boat IV ). Unfortunately, Premier Cruises found itself in financial difficulties after just three years and was forced out of service. Since September 2000 the ship had been moored in Freeport in the Bahamas. In May 2003 the Rotterdam was bought by the s.s. Rotterdam BV, part of the RDM-concern. The ship was saved from scrap! On December 7, 2004, the s.s. Rotterdam BV went bankrupt.
Subsequently housing company Woonbron and informal investor Eurobalance decided to buy the ship and formed a new company “De (The) Rotterdam”. The ship serves as a hotel/conference center at Maashaven, Netherlands. In 2013 the ship got new owners, WestCord Hotels.
