Touring in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a popular stop on Northern Europe and Baltic cruise itineraries, with ships docking at IJmuiden (the port for Amsterdam), Rotterdam, or Amsterdam's central cruise terminal. From any of these ports, your private driver-guide can take you into Amsterdam's historic canal district, out to the windmills at Zaanse Schans, or to the charming fishing villages of Volendam and Marken. Rotterdam-based tours also reach Delft, the Hague, and the UNESCO-listed windmills of Kinderdijk.

Frequently Asked Questions — Netherlands Shore Excursions

Where do cruise ships dock in the Netherlands?

Most cruise ships dock at IJmuiden, about 30 minutes from central Amsterdam. Some itineraries use Rotterdam's cruise terminal or Amsterdam's Passenger Terminal near the city center. We offer private tours from all three ports with pickup directly at your terminal.

Can I visit Amsterdam from IJmuiden?

Yes. IJmuiden is the primary cruise port for Amsterdam and all of our IJmuiden tours include private transportation into the city. A typical tour covers the canal district, Rijksmuseum area, and Anne Frank House neighborhood, with options to add the Dutch countryside or Zaanse Schans windmills.

What is the back-to-ship guarantee?

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private tour prevents you from returning to the cruise terminal before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private shore excursions from the Netherlands which meet the time requirements.
