About
About Wagenborg Passagiersdiensten
Wagenborg Passagiersdiensten runs the ferries to two of the Dutch Wadden Sea islands. Part of the family-owned Royal Wagenborg group, whose roots go back to 1898, it is the lifeline link for the islands of Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.
Ameland and Schiermonnikoog
Its car-and-passenger ferries cross from Holwerd to Ameland and from Lauwersoog to Schiermonnikoog, carrying islanders, holidaymakers, vehicles and freight. Both crossings thread through the tidal channels of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage area, so sailings work around the tides.
