How to plan it

Three routes around your cruise day

IJmuiden has no train station of its own, so with lots of luggage the door-to-door taxi is the relaxed option. Here is how to handle each direction.

From your ship to Schiphol

On a turnaround day, cruise ships in IJmuiden usually dock early in the morning. Choose a pickup time that matches your cruise line's disembarkation slot; the drive to Schiphol takes 29 to 43 minutes, depending on traffic. Schiphol recommends arriving 2 hours before a European flight and 3 hours before an intercontinental one, so count back from your departure time.

From Schiphol to your ship

Landing on embarkation day? Your flight is tracked live, your pickup time shifts automatically if it is delayed, and you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. You receive the pickup point by email in advance, your driver will contact you once you have landed, and you are taken straight to the Cruiseboulevard. Prefer to be welcomed inside the arrivals hall with a name sign? Add the Meet & Greet service (+ €30, available with Premium, Van and VIP; included with VIP pickups from Schiphol). Check your cruise documents for the time you need to be on board.

From your hotel to the terminal

Staying in Amsterdam, Haarlem or elsewhere the night before? That ride works in the same booking form: enter your hotel as the pickup address and Felison Cruise Terminal as the destination, and the fixed price appears immediately. No hunting for a shuttle with all your suitcases.

Cruise luggage

For a week or more on board, choose the Van

Cruise passengers rarely travel light: large suitcases, garment bags and often a whole party at once. The Van class is a Mercedes V-Class or similar seating up to 8 passengers, with a separate luggage compartment that holds 7 large suitcases; hand luggage rides inside the cabin. Nobody ends up with a suitcase on their lap, and the whole party arrives at the terminal or departure hall together.

No luggage surcharge: 3 large suitcases in Comfort and VIP, 4 in Premium, 7 in the Van, plus hand luggage. The fixed price is per ride: with 6 or 8 people you share one amount for the whole car.

Questions about the cruise taxi in IJmuiden

Where does the driver wait at Felison Cruise Terminal?

When booking, enter "Felison Cruise Terminal, Cruiseboulevard 10, IJmuiden" as your pickup or drop-off address and mention your ship in the notes field. Your driver will then be waiting at the agreed spot by the terminal. Arriving on the DFDS ferry from Newcastle instead? Enter the ferry terminal at Sluisplein. That works just as well.

What pickup time should I choose on disembarkation day?

Most cruise lines let passengers off the ship in groups over the course of the morning. Pick a time that matches the slot on your disembarkation card and allow some margin, as delays happen. You can still adjust later: changing your booking is free up to 24 hours in advance.

How much is a taxi from Felison Terminal to Schiphol?

One fixed price per ride, the same in both directions: Comfort €66 (1-4 passengers), Premium €84, Van €90 (5-8 passengers) and VIP €156. Including VAT and luggage, with no night surcharge. The price is per car, not per person.

Will all our cruise luggage fit in one car?

The Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) takes 7 large suitcases in a separate luggage compartment, with hand luggage inside the cabin. Travelling as a couple with regular suitcases? Comfort is fine. Not sure? State the number of passengers and suitcases when booking and the right vehicle will be waiting.

My flight lands late on embarkation day. Will I still make my ship?

Your flight is tracked live: if it is delayed, your pickup time shifts with it, and you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. You receive the pickup point by email in advance, and once you have landed, your driver will contact you, so you know exactly where to meet. From there the drive to the terminal in IJmuiden takes 29 to 43 minutes, depending on traffic.

Can we also get from our hotel to the cruise terminal?

Yes. Many cruise passengers spend the night before in Amsterdam or Haarlem. Enter your hotel address and the terminal in the booking form and you see the fixed price for that route straight away. You can book online up to 1 hour ahead; on turnaround days in the cruise season, preferably a day earlier.
