Offering a compact collection of three themed trips, SS Rotterdam stages an In-room Escape Experience on the ss Rotterdam where guests become detectives solving a pirate mystery; a Metro escape set in Rotterdam Central Station with an 80-minute timed challenge; and Diepzeebedrog aboard the historic ss Rembrandt, a 60-minute mission that pits teams against Captain Manus Goudkamp’s plans.
