Do you want to have more information about our guided tours?
We offer unique round trips through the port of Rotterdam on our museum ships. This is a special experience on a piece of sailing history.
Sail on a former steam-powered tug of the RDM (Rotterdam Dry Dock Company) or with Harbour Services, which was the visible face of the harbour as a patrol vessel, firefighting boat or icebreaker during the post-war reconstruction period. Or cast off the mooring ropes with a round trip on the only Rhine steam tug that still exists, the Pieter Boele.
A round trip takes about 2 hours and takes you past the skyline of Rotterdam and the port. Complete the trip with a packed lunch on board.
Lunch or drinks with a view of the museum harbour
The Lage Licht museum café, named after our lighthouse, is your home port for a good cup of coffee with freshly baked apple tart, a nice lunch or drinks. When the weather is good, the patio with a view of the museum harbour is also open.
Suitable packages for groups can be booked here. Discuss your wishes with the Sales department.
