Ferry crossing Ameland
Your Wadden holiday starts when your view changes form polderlandscape to Wadden Seas. Upon arrival at the Holwerd ferry dam, you can enjoy the special views over the Wadden Sea area, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
An experience in itself is your well-organized boat trip across the Wad from Holwerd to the island of Ameland. Here you can enjoy the cheerful holiday mood of travelers in the saloon of the ferry or simply enjoy the sun, the wind and the salty sea air on one of the spacious sundecks of the ferry.
It is best to start your holiday to Ameland well prepared. When you travel to Ameland with your own car, it is important to know that you must reserve your car for the crossing and be present at least 30 minutes before embarkation. Therefore, book your car crossing in time and plan your journey carefully and take into account, for example, traffic jams or road maintenance on your route.
If you travel by public transport or if you park your car in one of the car parks in Holwerd, you do not need to reserve the boat. If you are organizing a group trip to Ameland, a reservation is necessary. In order not to miss the boat, we advise you to be present at least fifteen minutes before departure of the ferry.
On the website of Wagenborg ferry Services you will find all practical information about the boat trip as well as the rates and timetables. We recommend booking a ticket via the Wagenborg website. This saves you long waiting times and ensures a relaxed and smooth course of your trip to Ameland.
