2023: Ban on cruise ships arriving to reduce tourism and air pollution
In July 2023, Amsterdam voted to ban cruise ships in an attempt to reduce the influx of tourists and reduce pollution by giant ships.
In July 20, the council of the Dutch capital voted to restrict the mooring of large ships in the city and close the central terminal of cruise ships, a municipality spokesman said. The timing and details of the implementation will be determined after consultation with various stakeholders.
