weacat Posted March 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Our July cruise has changed departure and arrival ports from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. We were looking forward to going through the locks out of Amsterdam. Are there any locks we would be going though leaving out of Rotterdam?

Dutch_Travelgirl Posted March 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2023 No, you won’t be going thru any locks. You will however be able to see the Maeslantkering. This huge storm surge barrier is part of the Delta Works. https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/destinations/provinces/south-holland/the-maeslantkering-storm-surge-barrier.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sansterre Posted March 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Rotterdam is an interesting re-built city. The architecture is amazing and there is much to see and do *visit the old Rotterdam VI (take a water taxi there!) *go to Kinderdjink windmills *take the HOHO bus tour The cruise in and out is very interesting. Even though there are no locks, there is plenty to see. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harola Posted March 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) There are no locks but you will sail 2-3 hours through the Nieuwe Waterweg which is very interesting. Many things to see. The pier is almost in the center of Rotterdam so you will watch the city when departing and then there is Delfshaven, Schiedam and Vlaardingen. The port of Rotterdam is one of the largest of the world so there is a lot of activity goin on Edited March 3, 2023 by harola 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
