Why a Christmas party on the boat in Rotterdam?
On a private boat, your team is the only group on board without any other company in the same room. The set changes all night: the Erasmus Bridge, De Rotterdam and the Markthal glide along, just like the ss Rotterdam, the Euromast and The White House from 1898, the first skyscraper in Europe. In December it is dark early, so you already sail at the beginning of the evening along an illuminated skyline. That's how you close the year in a place that stays with everyone. Is it gonna be a bigger party with music? Then watch it company party in Rotterdam.
