2-Hour Cruise
Set sail off the jetty of the former historic NDSM yard on a remarkable 2-hour cruise to the Zaanse Schans. After having cast off the mooring lines, you'll sail between the large cargo ships. Look at the port in its current form, and learn about how the Port will operate fossil-free and sustainably (not too far in the future). Learn about recent and future developments in energy transition at the circular port. Enjoy panoramic views from the deck on good weather days, and gaze out at the world’s largest cocoa and petrol port. When the weather's too hot or nippy, you'll enjoy the comfort of the ship's luxurious interior, where the catering is at. Feel free to purchase food and drinks on board if you please.
