Amsterdam is one of the most important cruise ship harbours in Europe, with around 100 cruise ships arriving every year. The main ferry terminal at Hoek van Holland (tel: (017) 438 9333) has a restaurant but no banking or exchange facilities.

Ferry services: Cross-channel ferries are run by StenaLine (tel: (08705) 455 455), which operates a rail/fast-ferry service from London (Liverpool Street) to Amsterdam (Centraal Station), via Harwich and the Hook of Holland. The entire journey takes around 8 hours 40 minutes and there are two services daily, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Transport to the city: Trains and coaches connect the terminal with Amsterdam city centre.
