By Car:

Take the A9 (travelling from Amsterdam, The Hague, Haarlem or Alkmaar) and turn off at the junction IJmuiden, Beverwijk (to A22). Follow the sign to IJmuiden and turn left at the traffic lights. Continue following the signs to IJmuiden. Please be careful to watch your speed. The limit is 50 km/h and there is frequent speed control.

From the Pontplein (ferry to Velsen Noord/Beverwijk) follow the Kanaaldijk (Canal Dam) along the North Sea Canal (on your right hand side) and the sign to the NEWCASTLE. At the junction of Kanaaldijk and De Geul, follow De Geul, underneath the viaduct.

You'll then arrive at the Dokweg. Follow the Dokweg and take the first road to the right (at the Shell station). Follow the Halkade which leads you to the Felison Terminal and the DFDS Seaways ship.

By Train:

In co-operation with a local coach firm, DFDS Seaways provides a connecting coach service between the Felison Terminal in IJmuiden and the Central Railway Station in Amsterdam. On days of departure coaches leave the central station between 15.30 and 16.30.

After the arrival of a DFDS Seaways ship the transfer departs from IJmuiden heading into the City Centre. The Coach stop in Amsterdam is opposite the Central Station, in front of Hotel Victoria, Damrak 1. Tickets can be purchased in advance through DFDS Seaways UK at time of booking.

By Taxi:

As IJmuiden is a small village there are not many taxis. Also, they do not always wait for the arrival of the ship. You can order taxis from the port in advance using the following telephone number (+31) (0)255 - 51 60 00 - this is a small local company. Please note: taxis are rather expensive in Holland, a taxi from the port into Central Amsterdam costs approximately Euro 60 each way.
