Overview

Avoid admission lines at The National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam and explore one of the largest and most notable maritime collections in the world with a skip-the-line ticket. Discover 500 years of Dutch Maritime history as well as its strong links to today’s society and the society of the future. An optional 1-hour audio-guided tour is included.

Itinerary

  • Het Scheepvaartmuseum| The National Maritime Museum

    Travel independently to The National Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum) at Amsterdam’s special part part called Oosterdok ( East Dock).  Set in the restored 17th-century Arsenal that was Royal Dutch Navy’s storehouse, the museum houses one of the world’s largest nautical collections, spanning atlases, art, model ships, and more. It forms the backbone of the Netherlands’ maritime heritage, while giving fascinating insight into the country's elemental connection with the sea. On arrival, use your fast-access ticket to bypass the ticket line, and head inside, admiring the modern glass roof over the courtyard. Collect an audio guide for a guided 1-hour walk-through of the highlights, or choose to wander around as you wish. View the high-definition screens that chart the Netherlands’ Golden Age of maritime power in the 17th century, and explore the halls filled with globes, navigational instruments, ship decorations, and stunning maritime landscapes. Take a virtual seafaring adventure, journey through old Amsterdam port, and head outside to explore the showpiece: a replica of the 18th-century Amsterdam cargo ship. Numerous exhibits are designed for children, and the museum is wheelchair-friendly.

This was an amazing place to visit, even though it's been 44 years since I was there I remember it like it was yesterday. I highly recommend this on your trip!

Fun!

Great museum. Easy to navigate and lots to see. My kids really enjoyed it and such a beautiful spot in Amsterdam. Worth a stop if you are in.

Interesting

Temporary exhibition on the food production is very interesting The museum’s audio guided tour is interesting in how it highlights the link between Holland’s economic growth and slavery.

My favorite place to visit in Amsterdam

Published on Aug, 2023

Excellent museum! Easily the best in Amsterdam. It was informative, interactive, beautiful and ultimately tragic because of the complex history it conveys. This is one of the best museums I’ve been to in the world.

A very interesting and interactive visit.

We went on a very rainy, looking for something to do and we were not disappointed. We learnt a lot about the Netherlands as a powerful maritime nation. The collection is very interesting but we were particularly pleased with the visit of the replica of the 19th Century ship the Amsterdam.
