About us

Amsterdam Cruise Port (ACP), is a non-profit association and all our participants work in the cruise industry. Several authorities and businesses participate and work together to provide the best possible service to cruise companies. The members offer a package of shipping and tourist services in support of cruise calls. Partners are The Port of Amsterdam, the Passenger Terminals in Amsterdam and IJmuiden, the port authority, port agents, incoming tour operators, various attractions and tourist service providers, hotels, local and provincial authorities.

Amsterdam Cruise Port coordinates the rivier cruise project in cooperation with the following destinations in the region; Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Den Helder, Enkhuizen, Haarlem, Hoorn, Huizen, and Lelystad, as well as Zaanstad (Zaandam and Zaanse Schans). All these destination have invested considerably in their cruise facilities over the last years and would be happy to welcome cruise vessels in their harbours. The environment is defined by water, vast polders, nature reserves, flower fields, picturesque villages, windmills and lively harbours, contoured by a boundless coastline.

The organisation ACP aims to be an active network organisation in which all parties work together in an aimable, smart and responsible manner to be able to guarantee an optimal service for our guests.
