Netherlands · Ships call at Amsterdam, Holland
Mild and pleasant
Amsterdam in August offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 71°F and comfortable lows near 56°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 3 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Mild and pleasant.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Amsterdam, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
