The Cruise Terminal Rotterdam is located in the heart of the city, on the Erasmus Bridge. Anyone who docks here with a cruise ship has the best views of Rotterdam (I speak from personal experience). It's one of the most beautiful cruise terminals on the cruise route (metropolises departing from Hamburg with the AIDAperla).
