Friends and Sponsors

Friends Who Help Make this Journey Possible.

For years, we have proudly maintained the entire “Cruise Port IJmuiden” project with minimal advertisements, relying entirely on the generous support of a few dedicated individuals. As the project has grown, so have the expenses, which have exceeded our initial expectations.

We are especially grateful to the Data and Intelligence department of KVSA Royal United Ship Agencies (the developers of ShipM8 and CruiseDock, among others), who provide web hosting and invaluable technical support. Their contribution significantly reduces our annual costs and helps us continue serving our growing community. Special thanks also go to Friso Kooijman and Jan Klinge for generously sharing many of the beautiful photos featured on this website.

Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans, including the creation of a foundation. While this step is essential for the long-term sustainability of Cruise Port IJmuiden, it also comes with additional costs, such as notary fees and administrative expenses.

You can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Cruise Port IJmuiden by becoming a friend. Your support — through a donation, sponsoring an advertisement, or simply clicking the buy us a coffee button — helps fuel our ambitions and keeps this volunteer-driven platform independent and thriving.

We warmly welcome new ideas, tips, and collaborations. If you share our vision and would like to contribute in any way, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can continue to make Cruise Port IJmuiden a remarkable and reliable gateway to the Low Lands.

We are deeply grateful to all our friends, supporters, and sponsors. Your generosity allows us to keep sharing the beauty and excitement of the Low Lands with cruise travelers from around the world.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
