Don’t miss the SCTE Benelux Annual Gala Dinner

Following its very successful Gala Dinner on the SS Rotterdam on the 70th anniversary of the SCTE, SCTE’s Benelux Group has selected the luxury ship again as the venue for its 2019 Annual Dinner on 9 February 2019.  Hotel accommodation is on board for those who wish to stay the night.

“The upper promenade deck, where we will be dining, used to be the Upper-Class deck. This is a beautiful location, where you can see the authentic halls of the ship and the outside deck. With a champagne reception and sumptuous dinner, this truly is a unique Gala Dinner venue,” commented Rien Baan, the SCTE’s Benelux Secretary.

The flagship of the “Holland America Line”, the SS Rotterdam transported thousands of people to ‘the new world’.  The ship, launched in 1959, was revolutionary for its time and has not lost any of its ‘old world’ charm.

“To start the evening off with a swing, join us for a Drinks Reception in the First-Class Smoking Room.  This will be followed by a four-course banquet served in the Grand Ballroom including wine and water, with coffee and after-dinner drinks in the Ambassador Lounge.  Entertainment during the dinner will be live music. The evening will include a speaker during a break for a ‘spoom’, who will enthral you with details of the venue and city of Rotterdam,” added Rien Baan.
