How long a couples massage in Amsterdam should last on either side of a cruise
The length is the decision couples spend least time on and regret most often. On a cruise trip it depends less on taste than on what comes the next morning, and this page matches each length to the evening it fits.

Ask a couple how long they want and the answer is usually a guess shaped by habit: an hour, because that is what a spa sells. A couples massage in Amsterdam on a cruise trip deserves more thought, because the right length shifts with the evening. What follows the session matters more than what comes before it.
The lengths on offer
An hour, ninety minutes, two hours, three hours, and the overnight, which runs for eight. Each can be booked with one therapist who works with the two of you in turn or with a therapist each, and the profiles on the roster give the fee for every combination. Past three hours, each further hour runs at the same rate as the ones before it.
One hour
An hour is short for two people. With one therapist working with each of you in turn, each of you has roughly half of it. It suits a narrow evening, a late landing, or a couple who want to try the format before committing to more. With a therapist each, an hour feels fuller, because the clock runs for both of you at once.
Ninety minutes
This is the length that fits the night before boarding. It leaves time for a proper session without eating into sleep, and it finishes early enough for a dull, unhurried morning. Most pre-cruise evenings arranged through this site settle here.
Two hours
Two hours suits an evening with nothing early the following day: a second night before the cruise, or a stay after it with an afternoon flight home. It allows a slower start, a pause in the middle, and time afterwards to shower and talk before anyone thinks about sleep.
Three hours
Three hours is an evening in itself. It belongs to the night after the voyage, when the floor has stopped moving and nothing is scheduled. Half the fee goes ahead for every booking of this length, whoever makes it and however late.
The overnight
Eight hours, priced once as a whole. It is the longest arrangement and the one that most plainly belongs to the first night back on land. The overnight page explains how its two ends are fixed in writing before anyone travels.
A simple rule
Before the sailing, choose the shorter of the lengths you were weighing. After it, choose the longer. On a turnaround day, let the hours of the day room decide for you. The note on ninety minutes and a whole night explains why the house so often steers couples this way.
