Amsterdam

Amsterdam is Europe’s 4th most popular tourist destination. The city offers a magic mix of friendly atmosphere, world-class art, entertainment, and the good life, all within easy walking distance. Beautiful canals and bridges add special charm. Thanks to Amsterdam’s compact size, Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, the bustling Schiphol International Airport and Central Railway Station are all within a short journey of each other. Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, located in the city centre offers the most up-to-date facilities to cruise lines and their passengers.


More than 400 years ago the first sailing ships of the famous Dutch East India Company set out from Amsterdam to explore the world. Their exotic activities, together with more down-to-earth trade with the Baltic regions, sparked off a Golden Age of prosperity and progress. These glory days have left their mark, both on Amsterdam’s architecture and its cosmopolitan atmosphere.


Today, Amsterdam has the largest Old Town in Europe, with nearly 7,000 historical monuments arranged around a beautiful network of canals. It can also boast some of the best art to be seen anywhere in the world and yet it is no stuffy museum town. A young, vibrant and multinational population gives the city a metropolitan verve and excitement. But perhaps Amsterdam’s greatest allure is its size. This compact, easily manageable city, can be happily explored on foot. Or hop on a canal boat or canal bike for a view that few other cities can match!


Amsterdam has welcomed tourists for centuries. Excellent customer-orientated port and terminal facilities and specialised destination management companies are just part of the sophisticated infrastructure that is at your disposal. Deluxe accommodation make Amsterdam the perfect start or end to a cruise. Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is conveniently located to reach Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, which has direct connections to over 200 cities on five continents. In addition, the city meshes into a network of highways that really does make it the Gateway to Europe!
