2.Pancake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,986 reviews · 1h 15m · from $31

Review of Rotterdam’s 75-minute Pancake Cruise, with Dutch pancakes, skyline views, family tips, pricing, food choices, and practical advice.

“LOADS to eat, you will not be disappointed! The boat was charming, if you want to sit upstairs then book party sizes 4 or smaller together (even if you are more than that), parties over 4 people sit downstairs. The ball pit for the kids to play in was small, and if there are a lot of kids on the cruise it would be chaos! Adults would be hard-pressed to climb into the pit for rescue purposes.”

Maybe the Harbor Cruise should get on board with…”
