Unfortunately, due to the beautiful winter weather and snowfall, it is not safe to visit the Batavia. Therefore, the Batavia will be temporarily closed on Thursday, Jan. 29.
The exhibit hall and shipyard will be open as usual that day. We hope to welcome you there and thank you for your understanding.
Although the ship and shipyard are temporarily closed, don’t miss our collection. Take a fascinating journey through, around and about the Batavia from home with our digital tour, where you’ll discover stories, images and background information as if you were walking around it yourself.

Although you can’t get onto the ship for a while, the Batavia looks breathtaking in the snow. The winter light makes the view from the quay extra special. Stop by for a brisk walk and admire the ship from a distance.
