CRUISE Lines International Association (CLIA) is emphasising all voyages from Amsterdam are continuing as scheduled, amid reports of the city’s closure of its ocean cruise terminal (CW 23 Jan).

“We are aware of the discussion in Amsterdam regarding possible post-2035 scenarios,” a statement from the organisation read.

“This is part of ongoing dialogue…the port and terminal continue constructive dialogue with the city, and CLIA fully supports their leadership as valued partners.”

Amsterdam last week confirmed its desire to end ocean-going cruises by 2035, following a study into the future of the sector in the city.

Lines such as Holland America and Celebrity regularly sail from Amsterdam.
