About this school trip

At Het Scheepvaartmuseum, the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam, history comes to the surface. Pupils explore 500 years of Dutch maritime history and discover how it connects with the society we live in today. The museum holds one of the largest and most important maritime collections in the world, with around 400,000 objects. A highlight is the VOC ship Amsterdam, which pupils can board and explore for themselves.

Through its education programmes, the museum sets out to inspire pupils and teachers alike with stories of ships, seafaring and trade, and of the people, cultures and communities that the water brought together. There are programmes for primary schools, secondary schools, vocational schools and special education. A programme should be booked at least two weeks before the visit; we are happy to help with that.

We are happy to take care of transport to Amsterdam for you and your pupils. Our experienced driver takes your group to the museum safely and comfortably by coach, and brings everyone back to school afterwards.
