Cruise flights · 2026–27 season
Business class flights for Amsterdam cruises
Amsterdam is the starting point for Norwegian fjords and Northern Europe voyages. From 2026 the city caps cruise calls, so many ships now use IJmuiden on the coast instead of the city-centre terminal — check which your line uses.

- City terminal or IJmuiden
- Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is in the city centre, but calls there are capped at 100 a year from 2026. Many ships now dock at the Felison terminal in IJmuiden, about 33 km west.
- Arrive a day early
- Transatlantic flights are overnight and land in the morning. Arrive the day before embarkation: it absorbs a delay, beats jet lag, and most lines start boarding around midday.
