Regarding Rotterdam v maiden voyage: Can anyone tell me date on which vessel departed NY on return leg, and date on which she arrived Southampton?

My wife, a university student at the time, sailed on that crossing.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Heron Bay,

Welcome to Cruise Line Fans. Thanks for your question.

Its tough to figure out an exact date for NY departure, etc. but here is what I have come up with so far...

We know that on, Thursday September 3, 1959, The SS Rotterdam departed on her maiden voyage from Rotterdam to New York. I am not sure how many days this voyage would have taken at the time, but will do some more research to see if we can't find you an exact date.

In the meantime, feel free to check out all the great information and forums available here and share your cruising experience where you see fit.

Thanks Again!
