Trains to Amsterdam Schiphol are available from Eindhoven, Antwerp and Brussels airports.
TRAVELLING BY TRAIN, BUS OR TAXI
If you are arriving by public transport we would strongly recommend that you travel to either Schiphol or Rotterdam airports and use the dedicated shuttle service. Eurostar also currently operates a service to Amsterdam Centraal, where you can connect to Schiphol.
Public transport to Ouddorp is only available from Rotterdam Central Station (via underground and 2 different buses – the journey will take approximately 3 hours)
The nearest train station is Maassluis.
From Maassluis you can get a taxi to Port Zelande at a cost of about €150

THE SHUTTLE BUSES WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU!
On arrival at Schiphol, please make your way to the MEETING POINT in the centre of the hall. This point is mentioned on every information display all over Schiphol.
PLEASE NOTE - The meeting point has been moved (the red & white cube is no longer there) and is now located in front of Burger King - SEE HERE.

For the return to Schiphol airport, you will receive a ticket in your Welcome pack at Check-in detailing the bus number and the time of departure from Port Zelande.
Due to the traffic density expected on Monday morning, shuttle buses will leave Port Zelande approx 5 hours before departure flight times.
Res Nova representatives Janneke and André will be available in the Market Dome at 17:00 Saturday 18 March to discuss any queries.
PLEASE NOTE - CenterParcs and Marillion staff will be unable to help with any queries.
