There are single and double rooms and some of them have a private bathroom. All beds can easily be converted into bunks so that makes a total of 30 beds.
Unfortunately bookings only during winter time...
In summer the Aldebaran is sailing out on lake IJsselmeer and that means that during this period you can´t spend the night on board the ship in Rotterdam. Usually you can only book a room on the Aldebaran between mid-November and early April.
