Shore excursions program for below cruises

Spend a few hours off the ship on a tour that is guaranteed to leave you smarter than you were. The family-friendly jaunt begins with a short coach drive from IJmuiden to the Netherlands’ largest science museum, the so-called NEMO. You will then have plenty of time to explore the museum’s five fascinating floors, which are brim-full of interesting things to discover, exciting stuff to do and astounding facts to learn about the worlds of science and technology. All of the fascinating exhibits, creative enactments, films, workshops and demonstrations that make up the NEMO are connected to science and technology in some way. This live-and-direct, multisensory NEMO experience is certainly the most fun you’re ever likely to have encountering your natural environment. If you ever wondered what makes bridges strong or what you will look like in 30 years’ time, why family members resemble one another or how to purify water, what happens to a person when they enjoy a kiss or perhaps how lightning and satellites work, the NEMO will provide the answers to these and many other questions. In short, this informative, immersive and highly entertaining tour is a very clever way to spend a few hours off the ship, no matter how old you are.
