Extinction Rebellion activists arrested after attempting to prevent cruise ship from docking
Five Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists were arrested on the early morning of July 27, 2025, while protesting against the 'Celebritsy Eclipse' in Amsterdam. Around 4:30 a.m., protesters blocked the vessel at the Amsterdam Passenger Terminal (PTA). Around 35 Extinction Rebellion activists were protesting, using boats, canoes, and inflatable animals to protest against the docking of the cruise ship. About 30 protesters tried to prevent the ship from docking. The protest lasted about two hours. Police arrested five people for assault, spraying the cruise ship, and refusing to show identification. Two people have been released. XR was considering filing a police report because they claimed that harbour boats ran over their (inflatable) boats. The police were not yet aware of any reports as of the morning of July 27 and still investigating what exactly happened. The cruise ship was connected to shore power provided by PTA and otherwise running on biofuel.
