Disembark to Amsterdam Central

[teacherman]

We will be on a TA that disembarks in Amsterdam, most likely at the terminal in the downtown area. We will need to go to Amsterdam Central Station to catch a train to Paris. We are in our early 70s and will each have a large suitcase and a carry on. What would be the best (easiest) way for us to get to the station? Any information/advice is welcome. Thank you.

The cruise ship dock is very close to the Central station. We walked it easily with our luggage. Only about 1 block . I think a cab would be the other option.

Be aware cabdrivers might refuse to transport you due to the short distance. Either walk or take tramnr. 26 to Centraal Station.

We walked - if you can handle your luggage, we found this to be the easiest option. You simply exit the cruise terminal, turn right and walk down Piet Heinkade for 1.4 km (should take you between 15-20 minutes and the terrain is flat all the way). You can check out the walking route on Google maps - enter Passenger Terminal Amsterdam to Amsterdam Centraal Stationsplein.

Tram #26 is also an option (you can see the location of the tram stop on Google) but I actually think that walking affords the least hassle.
