Small Group Delft & Royal Delft

Yes. This tour is designed specifically for cruise guests docking at the Rotterdam Cruise Port. Pick-up and drop-off are at the cruise terminal, and the itinerary is carefully timed to fit within your port stay. If you’re not on a cruise ship you can still join this tour though, just make sure to meet us at the Cruise Port!

We monitor cruise arrival times. If your ship arrives late, we adjust the schedule where possible. If the tour cannot operate due to a significant delay, you will receive a full refund.

Yes, and it is in writing. If a delay on our side means you miss your ship, we refund the excursion in full and we arrange your transport to the ship’s next port of call, up to €100 per person. Every route is planned backwards from your all aboard time with a safety margin nothing is scheduled into, and we work from your ship’s actual times rather than the published ones. See article 15 of our general terms and conditions.
