IJmuiden Cruise Ship Schedule 2027 — Confirmed Calls So Far
Cruise Port IJmuiden has not published its own 2027 calendar yet — the port calendar currently ends on 19 December 2026. The calls below are the 2027 dates that two independent cruise schedule databases both list, cross-checked on 29 August 2026. A handful of dates that appear in only one of the two are deliberately left out. Treat this as a strong indication rather than a confirmation: schedules this far ahead do move, and we will replace this table with the port’s own calendar the moment it is published.

Sources: CruiseDig and CruiseTimetables, cross-checked 29 August 2026. Arrival and departure times are not published for IJmuiden — check with your cruise line. Note for tulip travellers: Keukenhof runs 18 March to 9 May 2027, so the AIDAluna call on 12 April and the Norwegian Star call on 6 May both fall inside the season.
About the IJmuiden Cruise Terminals
IJmuiden has two cruise terminals with similar names — always double-check which one your ship is using:
- Felison Cruise Terminal (Cruiseboulevard 10, 1976 EB IJmuiden) — the main terminal, right by the beach in IJmuiden aan Zee. Handles the vast majority of cruise calls. Modern and well-equipped.
- Felison Terminal (Sluisplein, IJmuiden) — a smaller, older facility closer to the town centre and adjacent to the DFDS Newcastle ferry terminal. Used for very few cruise calls.
Both terminals are accessible by car (parking reservations recommended — book via reserveren.felisonterminal.com) and by bus from Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Beverwijk.
How Long Do Ships Stay in IJmuiden?
Most cruise ships at IJmuiden dock for 8–12 hours. Exact timings are not published by the terminal but are typically available in your ship’s daily programme or from your cruise line. As a guideline, most ships arrive in the morning (07:00–09:00) and depart in the evening (18:00–20:00). Always verify with your cruise line and note the all-aboard time carefully.

Make the Most of Your Time Ashore
- 8 hours ashore — Amsterdam city centre (Rijksmuseum or canal ring) + time at Centraal station area. Or a full day in Haarlem.
- 10–12 hours ashore — Amsterdam with two pre-booked attractions, or Keukenhof (spring) + Haarlem afternoon, or a full Amsterdam day with evening dining before the ship departs.
- Turnaround/overnight call — Maximum flexibility. Consider an overnight hotel in Amsterdam or Haarlem to extend your Netherlands experience.

FAQ — IJmuiden Cruise Ship Schedule
What is the Felison Cruise Terminal address?
The main Felison Cruise Terminal is at Cruiseboulevard 10, 1976 EB IJmuiden — right by the North Sea beach in IJmuiden aan Zee. This is where the vast majority of cruise ships dock. The smaller Felison Terminal (for DFDS ferry and occasional smaller cruise ships) is on Sluisplein closer to the town centre.
Are arrival and departure times published for IJmuiden?
Unlike Rotterdam and Amsterdam, the Felison Terminal does not publish exact arrival and departure times publicly. Times are provided to passengers by their cruise line. As a guideline, most ships arrive 07:00–09:00 and depart 18:00–21:00. Always check the all-aboard time with your ship — it’s different from the departure time.
Is the schedule on this page complete?
The table covers the published 2026 season, which runs from late May to December. That reflects what the port has published, not a rule about when ships may call: 2027 already has confirmed spring calls, including AIDAluna on 12 April and Norwegian Star on 6 May. A full 2027 table will be added here once the season is published. We update this page from Cruise Port IJmuiden and Felison Terminal data. For the most current information, visit cruiseportijmuiden.com or the Felison Terminal cruise calendar directly.
How do I get from IJmuiden to Amsterdam?
the bus from the terminal to Haarlem Centraal (35 min) then Intercity train to Amsterdam Centraal (15 min) — total roughly 60 to 75 minutes, €5–7 per person. Cruise line shuttles are also available (typically €15–25 return). Taxis cost approximately €65–80 one way. Full details: IJmuiden to Amsterdam transport guide →
