Amsterdam Cruise Port Tours

Most cruise ships to Amsterdam dock at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam in the Eastern Docklands neighborhood, located just east of Amsterdam Centraal station, which offers efficient transport links to the rest of the city. Travelers have a bevy of options to explore in Amsterdam, from its famed canals to its coffeeshops and the Dutch countryside.

 

Travelers disembarking in Amsterdam can take advantage of the cruise port’s central location to dive straight into guided sightseeing, opting for private or public transfer from the city center to travel among iconic landmarks such as the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum. Popular destinations outside of the urban capital include Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans, and Volendam, where visitors can glimpse the Netherland's more rural heritage.

Tours typically include round-trip transfer from the city center, as vehicle access to the docklands is restricted. Regular tram service departs from Muziekgeb Bimhuis near the terminal, which whisks you to the main station in a matter of minutes, or take a 10-minute stroll through the trendy harbor district.

The Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is the city’s main cruise port. Dutch is the national language of Holland, though English is widely understood. The Euro is the local currency.
