The Rotterdam Lloyd handled the postal traffic between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies. For this purpose, the shipping company had four fast and luxuriously mail ships, which also transported passengers. The company also offered all kinds of trips in the Dutch East Indies. Passengers could choose from eleven voyages, ranging from a 54-day sea journey including a 14-day stay in Java to a 96-day round trip to Java, Bali and Sumatra. All hotel stays, transport and excursions on land were provided by the Dutch East Indies travel agency Nitour in Batavia. The cheapest trip cost 272 guilders per person, the most expensive 1214.
