Originally named Ryndam in development, she was renamed Rotterdam in July 2020 during construction to honor the name's legacy in the cruise line's history after six previous vessels in HAL's fleet bore the name.

Infrared sunset !! No filters no photoshop.
Some context, at the time of taking this picture the sky was already completely dark to the naked eye and it was taken with a Samsung Galaxy8+.
Inferring from the physics is that after the red traditional skyline is gone there is still a part of the spectrum of light passing through and that this particular phone's camera sensor has the ability to capture it and display it. What say you?
