Description

On this boat trip through the Port of Amsterdam, you'll discover the history of one of the most important trading points in Europe - and the world!

Discover the Port of Amsterdam

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the NDSM ferry terminal, where the ship will be waiting to take you across the port of Amsterdam.

Once we set off, we'll begin to get an idea of the true size of the Port of Amsterdam - which spent hundreds of years as a vital trading point. We'll learn more about the port's history, thanks to an English audio guide which will be available to listen to during the cruise!

During the cruise, we'll journey through the storied history of this immense port, from the 14th century to the present day - we'll also spend some time discussing its future. As we sail, you'll see huge ships in loading and unloading areas, old shipyards and the world's largest cocoa warehouse.

What makes this port so significant? Where are the ships coming from/going? What measures are being taken to make this port environmentally friendly? How many companies operate here? We'll answer each of these questions and many more during our tour!

After 2 hours of sightseeing, we'll end the boat tour back at the terminal from which we departed!
