So make sure you have your dancing shoes on!

Day Trip to Rotterdam

After a great night of vintage music, and a restful sleep in one of our en-suite cabins, you’ll arrive in to Rotterdam the following morning – meaning you’ll have the whole day ahead of you to explore.

Once you disembark the ship you’ll be hopping onto a coach to take you straight to the heart of Rotterdam. Rotterdam is a wonderful destination for lovers of vintage fashion and retro treasures. From authentic 1940s and 1950s clothing to accessories, homeware, and collectibles, the city is packed with specialist shops and hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

We are working closely with the Dutch Tourist Board to compile a dedicated vintage shopping pamphlet, highlighting the best traders, boutiques, and markets to visit during your day ashore. This will be provided to all Vintage Mini Cruise guests, making it easy to plan your own nostalgic shopping adventure.
