Friends and Sponsors (Who Help Make This Journey Possible)

Cruise Port IJmuiden is an independent project, built on a passion for cruising, the Port of IJmuiden, and the people who bring it to life.

For years, we have worked to make this website a reliable source of information for cruise passengers, ship enthusiasts, and everyone with an interest in cruise calls at IJmuiden. What started as a passion project has grown into a platform that requires a considerable investment of time, effort, and money to maintain.

We are committed to keeping Cruise Port IJmuiden as accessible and independent as possible, without filling the website with advertisements. However, hosting, maintenance, and further development all come at a cost.

There are several ways you can help keep Cruise Port IJmuiden sailing.

• Book tickets and experiences: From shuttle bus services and museum visits to other local attractions and travel-related services, you may find useful ticket links throughout our website. Where applicable, bookings made through these links may generate a small commission at no additional cost to you.

• Buy us a coffee: If you enjoy the website and would like to show your appreciation, you can make a small contribution through Buy Me a Coffee.

• Advertise or collaborate: Are you a cruise-related business or organization interested in reaching our audience? We welcome inquiries about advertising and other forms of collaboration.

Every contribution, whether financial or through a shared idea, useful tip, or helping hand, is greatly appreciated.

A special thank-you goes to Friso Kooijman and Jan Klinge, who have generously shared many of the beautiful photographs featured on this website. Their contributions help bring the world of cruising in IJmuiden to life.

Cruise Port IJmuiden is an independent initiative, maintained with enthusiasm and a genuine love for the cruise industry. With your support, we hope to keep it growing and continue sharing the ships, stories, and people that make IJmuiden such a special port of call.

Have an idea, a tip, or a proposal for working together? We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch.

Thank you for visiting, supporting, and being part of the Cruise Port IJmuiden community.
