Description
Travel in style on board this fancy ferry between Amsterdam and Zaanse Schans and cruise through the Hembrug terrains and back again. Stop in Zaandam for some shopping or lunch, or just follow the winds and enjoy the views!
This brand new boat connection from Amsterdam Central to Zaanse Schans and back takes you through the Hembrug, a site of industrial heritage and sprawling woodland. You won't believe you're still so close to Amsterdam!
Hembrug was a secret military location with a weapons and ammunitions factory, and from 1890 onwards, it was home to a defense line comprising 46 forts, batteries, locks, and dikes. This interesting location managed to sneak its way into the UNESCO World Heritage list thanks to its historical value.
You'll end your journey in the quaint village of Zaanse Schans, lined with windmills by the riverbank. Keep your camera ready to snap views of this idyllic Dutch dwelling.

This service was easy, fast and efficient.
Not to be missed. Best service.
wonderful experience. lovely captain.
Absolutely the best experience we had in Amsterdam! The privacy of the boat beats the fully packed tourist options out there, the staff were amazing and couldn’t be more attentive. Just be aware you do have to change boats! would happily recommend this to everyone looking for a beautiful day trip and a relaxing cruise along the river. This is by far the best way to see everything! Book it now! for the price you pay you seriously cannot go wrong!!
