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.

Visit: Het Scheepvaartmuseum| The National Maritime Museum, Kattenburgerplein 1, 1018 KK Amsterdam The Netherlands

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.

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.

Beautiful and interesting architectural building, but a little disappointing on the Maritime history The museum has a number of interesting displays, including nautical whaling some of the ships and wars that were involved with the Dutch Maritime history, and a number of pieces on mast heads and the development of shipping and colonization that occurred in the Dutch 17 in 1800s However, I just didn’t feel that there was a theme or a story that was developed in the museum or with the displays I would still if interested in maritime history visited museum, but I would not set my expectations too high.

For such a great seafaring nation as the Netherlands to have a national maritime musuem as poor as this is very underwhelming. Approx. 6-8 exhibitions that each take about 20 mins to go trough. For some reason the musuem is more dedicated to show artcrafts and artifacts of the maritime history rather than dig into the subject itself. I'm seriously missing the "golden thread (or timeline for lack of better word)" to the history and experienced only few "hits" throughout the period. On the museums jetty there is a replica of a 17th century vessel on the jetty - but dont be fooled - it is a far shot from HMS Victory in UK or Fregatten Jylland in Denmark. But I'm sure it was expensive to build and also to maintain but it doesn't really give any serious insight. The only positive I can come up with is that building itself and surroundings. Especially the covered courtyard is impressive (and also expensive I would imagine). But again - way to much "wrapping" for the contents that the museum displays. Save 17€ and find another museum if you are serious about maritime history.

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.

Even if you already bought a ticket online, they let you wait 1,5 hours in a queue with the people who do not have a ticket yet. It is not that they don't have enough personell, because they have people in the lobby, who do not check tickets, but tell you to go outside to the end of the huge queue. There is a sign: "no fast lane" , Then they shouldn' t sell tickets for a fast lane.
