Dick de Graaff, director of Cruise Port Amsterdam that operates the terminal in the city centre, said the company had taken note of the vote and is awaiting the municipality’s next move.
AMSTERDAM — Amsterdam wants to move a cruise-liner terminal out of the heart of the historic capital city as the latest step in its ongoing battle against pollution and hordes of tourists clogging its narrow, cobbled streets.
“A clear decision has been made by the council that the cruise should leave the city,” Ilana Rooderkerk, leader of the centrist D66 party in Amsterdam, said Friday. De Graaff said that the Amsterdam terminal expects 114 ships to stop there this year and 130 next year.
