Getting Here
The double-decker ferry to Texel departs at least once an hour from Den Helder, just 80 km north of Amsterdam.
The first ferry leaves at 6:30 AM, and the last one at 9:30 PM.
The crossing takes only 20 minutes. It is not possible, nor necessary, to reserve a place for the ferry, but you can purchase an e-ticket in advance.
During periods of high demand, an extra ferry is added, and crossings are made every half hour.
Prins Hendrik is easily accessible by car. From the ferry terminal
follow the signs towards Oosterend (exit 10).
At De Waal, take a left at the roundabout, then turn right onto Zaandammerdijk and take Schorrenweg.
At the end of the road, you’ll see Prins Hendrik on your right, where you will take two quick right turns in succession.
From Den Helder station, take bus line 33 to the ferry.
You will be dropped off at the TESO ticket office, where you can buy a return ticket for the ferry. You then board the ferry on foot.
