Where is the IJmuiden cruise port?
IJmuiden lies at the mouth of the North Sea Canal, west of Amsterdam. Most cruise ships berth at the main cruise terminal in the outer harbour, beside the beach at IJmuiden aan Zee, shortly after entering from the open sea. A few smaller ships use a second terminal closer to the town centre, next to the ferry terminal. Check which terminal your ship uses.

About IJmuiden
IJmuiden is a maritime town at the entrance of the North Sea Canal, on the Dutch coast west of Amsterdam. Most ships berth at the main cruise terminal in the outer harbour, right by the beach at IJmuiden aan Zee, and a smaller terminal sits next to the ferry terminal nearer the town centre. Some cruises start and end here. Ships enter directly from the open sea with no locks. IJmuiden has no railway station, so Amsterdam, Haarlem and the Zaanse Schans windmills are reached by bus, car or excursion.
