I will not be driving. What is the best way to get to CenterParcs?

Public transport options to get to CenterParcs Port Zélande are very limited. We recommend flying to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport or Rotterdam Airport and taking the shuttle coach service Res Nova will be providing (see below). Alternatively check with your local Official Web Fan Club (listed at www.marillion.com/web) as several may be organising direct coach trips.

If you are arriving by train we would strongly recommend that you travel to either Schiphol or Rotterdam airports and use the shuttle service detailed below
