Seaport Days offers lovers of sailing heritage and old shipyards a free cruise including a visit to Museum 't Kromhout for half price. You step aboard at the quay of Java Island after checking in at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. From there, three ships go in carousel from IJhaven to the museum and back. On Saturday, each little ship makes a stop at the Museumhaven Amsterdam (t.o. Het Scheepvaartmuseum). There you can also be picked up again. Click here for the program in the Museumhaven.
Museum 't Kromhout unpacks on the weekend of June 29 and 30 with special Seaport Days programming for adults and children. First of all, the museum is bringing two historic ships with a Kromhout engine into service; a tugboat and a passenger ferry. And, as in other years, the Jan van der Heyde II (the old fireboat of the Amsterdam Fire Department) will again be in attendance.
Children's Program
When you disembark at the museum at the Hoogte Kadijk, a world of shipbuilding in the 19th century opens up before you. Fun for enthusiasts, but also for kids who can get started with the Kids Explorer Tour of the shipyard.
