Find your way to the water
Your destination is your central focus point when you’re travelling. But regardless of what your final destination is: it goes without saying you want to get there in an efficient and fun way. And that’s the exact service Aqualiner provides. We’re able to offer everyone top quality, safe and accessible transport on our inland waterways with Waterbus in the Netherlands. Irrespective of whether you’re heading off to work, school or possibly enjoying a day out; we’ll take you to your destination!
Our services
Waterbus
Waterbus provides daily transport across the water, connecting Rotterdam, Dordrecht and nearby towns such as Zwijndrecht, Papendrecht and Ridderkerk. Travel comfortably and without traffic jams while enjoying beautiful river views. Perfect for a relaxing journey to work, school or a day out. And your bicycle always travels for free.
WaterShuttle
The WaterShuttle is your direct connection from Rotterdam to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kinderdijk. No transfers or parking hassles, just a comfortable trip across the water. As the city recedes behind you, you’ll enjoy views of the Rotterdam skyline, the river landscape and iconic windmills emerging in the distance.
VMR
VMR is a trusted ferry connection across the Scheur between Maassluis and Rozenburg. Damen has taken over the ferry as the new operator and, together with Aqualiner, started the combined timetable with the car ferry (Blankenburg) and bicycle foot ferry (Jorina).

Benefits of travelling with our water buses
Opting to travel by water bus offers a variety of advantages which certainly make it an attractive mode of transport:
Accessible to everyone
Relaxation and comfort
Environmentally friendly
A fast and flexible route
Less traffic intensity
Sailing with a water bus is therefore a fast, environmentally friendly and unique way of travelling, plus it offers relaxation and convenience, especially in busy urban areas.
To your destination…
It’s simply fantastic that so many people travel to their destination by water. And, by doing so, they’re not just making a positive contribution to all the problems caused by car mobility.
But also to the economic development of all the cities, villages, industrial estates, nature reserves and attractions in the area, not to mention the environmental objectives.
Improvements are now also being made in terms of timetables and destinations, in order to provide travellers with an even better service. For example, the Kinderdijk World Heritage site can be accessed across the water from Rotterdam all year round.
