Amsterdam (IJmuiden)
Ferry Port Overview
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands.
Its name is derived from "Amstel dam"
pointing to the city's origin: a dam on the
river Amstel.
The city, founded in the late 12th century
as a small fishing village, has grown to
become the largest city in the Netherlands.
This exciting city is known for its many
canals with the elegant canal houses which
have led to Amsterdam being called the
"Venice of the North".
Amsterdam has a rich and diverse cultural
heritage. Tourist attractions in Amsterdam
are the Rijksmuseum, which features a
magnificent selection of Dutch paintings
from the Golden Age, the Anne Frank House in
the centre Amsterdam where Anne Frank wrote
her famous diary during World War II and
Artis Zoo, the oldest Zoo in the
Netherlands.
Amsterdam City Centre is only 30 minutes by
tourist bus from the Felison Terminal Cruise
Berth in IJmuiden where DFDS Seaways ferries
dock.

By Rail
In co-operation with a local Coach firm,
DFDS Seaways provides a connecting Coach
service between the Felison Terminal in
IJmuiden and the Central Railway Station in
Amsterdam. On days of departure the Coach
leaves the Central Station at 16.30, 1½
hours before ship's departure.
After the arrival of a DFDS Seaways ship the
transfer departs from IJmuiden heading into
the City Centre. The Coach stop in Amsterdam
is opposite the Central Station, in front of
Hotel Victoria, Damrak 1.
By Bus
As IJmuiden is a small village there are not
many taxi's around. Also, they do not wait
for the arrival of the ship. Taxis are
rather expensive in Holland, a taxi from the
port into Central Amsterdam costs
approximately Euro 60 each way. |
