“Enjoyable stay on an extraordinary ship with good company”
We had the pleasure to be the only guests during our stay on the cruise ship Aurora. Steve, the captain, and Faye, the faithful dog, made sure we had a wonderful and enjoyable stay - we‘ve laughed so much:-) We received a delicious and varied breakfast every morning, the room was very clean and nicely decorated and Steve gave us good tips for activities in and around Schiedam. This was definitely an unforgettable stay - many thanks to Steve, Faye and Karina (who we unfortunately couldn't meet in person as she was travelling). All the best to the three of you and "auf Wiedersehen";-)

Everything was superb and exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was royal, everything was fresh and eggs ( scrambled and omelette) were the best we ever had!!! Room was very spacious and comfortable ( much better than staying in a regular hotel), great bed, soft linens and wonderful shower ( plus nice fluffy towels) and beautifully decorated ship - what more could one wish for?? It was also conveniently located right under the windmill (with a beautiful view) and very close to the watertaxi station ( incredible experience as well since we got to the centre of Rotterdam in 5 minutes)..oh and the sweet Golden retriever was added bonus!! We miss you already!!!

“An individual pleasure”
My stay in Rotterdam for 6 nights was a real pleasure. Steve, Karina and Fay (a very dear Golden Retriever) not only made me happy with a delicious breakfast every morning, but also always had good tips ready for my trips. In general, a stay like this on this ship is something very special and much more pleasant and individual than a mass hotel in the city. The public transport is only 10 minutes away on foot and there is free parking lot for your car in the immediate vicinity. I would love to come back to the "Aurora" if the opportunity arises!!
