The Ijssel River Cruise - where it takes place and when to go

The Ijssel is a Dutch estuary of the Rhine. Between Arnheim and Westervoort it diverges from the Rhine and discharges into Lake Ijssel at Kampen about 123 kilometres later. The best time for a Ijssel River Cruise is between April and September.

Ijssel Cruises - cities and tourist attractions

The shores of Lake Ijssel are home to the Dutch capital, Amsterdam. In the city of canals, the royal palace and the world-famous waxwork museum, Madame Tussaud's, are very much worth visiting. The Vondelpark is a good place to relax for a few hours.

The Dutch town of Volendam fascinates with its picturesque idyll of black and green fishermen's huts. This is a good place from which to visit to the city of Edam, famous for its cheese, with its wonderful historical cityscape.

If your Ijssel River Cruise should happen to take you to Hoorn, you will be able to admire the city's principal landmark, the "Hoofdpoort" harbour tower, or immerse yourself in Dutch history in the "Westfriesenmuseum".

The historical town centre of Enkhuizen with the "Zuiderzeemuseum" is also a rewarding destination.
