Departure point for Stromma festival cruises

Our boats that sail on the official Amsterdam Light Festival route depart from Damrak 16. That's a 3-minute walk from the main entrance of Central Station towards Dam Square, and a 4 min. walk from the middle of Dam Square towards Central Station.

You will find our Stromma's jetties on the left side on the Damrak if you walk from Central Station, and on the right side if you walk from Dam Square. You recognize them by the yellow and white coloured signs. Several trams pass our jetties, such as tram 2, 4, 12, & 17. Get off at Central Station or Dam Square.
