Amsterdam Tours: Worry-free Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers:
Port of Amsterdam
The Port of Amsterdam is a very popular stop for ocean cruises and the Amsterdam Cruise Terminal is also the starting point for hundreds of European river cruises.
If your cruise to Amsterdam or river cruise from Amsterdam includes some free time in this historic city, Viator (the day tour experts) have put together a few tours that are geared towards visitors who are part of a cruise.
Worry-free Shore Excursion
Amsterdam has a lot to offer visitors, but if you’re afraid of straying too far from your ship and not getting back to your boat on time, Viator’s worry-free shore excursions come with the following guarantee:
- They will ensure that your excursion ends with ample time for you to return to the Amsterdam Cruise Terminal for your ship’s departure.
- In the extremely unlikely event that your ship has departed, they will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call.
- If your ship’s arrival in Amsterdam is delayed and you are unable to attend a booked tour, your money will be refunded. See their terms and conditions for full details.
Amsterdam Sightseeing Tours
Not all Viator Amsterdam tours carry the Worry-free Shore Excursion guarantee, so if it is important to you to have this assurance, you will need to select the ones that are covered by their worry-free policy. Some of these include:
Keukenhof Gardens
The Keukenhof Gardens is one of Holland’s top attractions and if your cruise to Amsterdam is at springtime, a visit to the Keukenhof Gardens and Holland’s tulip fields should not be missed. There is a choice of four tours here, depending on how much time you want to spend at the Gardens. Keukenhof is only open for 8 weeks in spring so don’t miss this springtime extravaganza.

Hi there,
Two weeks ago I was in Amsterdam and like everybody, I wanted to see the famous Redlight District. Not only for the girls, but also to get to know the history, meet other (local) people and to really learn something.
That’s why I decided to order a Redlight District Tour online… It was hosted by a local, who was really familar with the area and showed us everything we needed to know. The duration was about 2,5 hours and cost me about 20 euro… It was really word it!
Hi there, My wife, Jean, and I spent a couple of days at Keukenhof Gardens, near Lisse. We always knew that The Netherlands (Holland) was famous for its tulips. As gardeners, seeing the gardens at Keukenhof, just simply took our breath away! It was amazing. Without a doubt, Keukenhof Gardens is the world’s biggest outdoor gardens.

While in Holland, Jean and I also spent a day at the village of Zaanse Schans where we got to see their large collection of windmills. For us, a trip to Holland just wouldn’t have been complete without seeing windmills in action.
