Your local skipper will guide you through the heart of the city while sharing fascinating stories about Amsterdam’s history, culture, and everyday life. Instead of a standard audio guide, you’ll hear authentic stories and insights from someone who truly knows the canals.

Cruise Through Amsterdam’s UNESCO Canal Belt. Amsterdam’s canals are the heart of the city and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. During this relaxing canal cruise you’ll discover why these waterways are considered one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in the world.

Along the route you’ll pass many of Amsterdam’s most famous sights, including:
• The historic Anne Frank House
• The iconic Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug)
• Elegant Golden Age canal houses
• The famous Golden Bend on the Herengracht
• Charming houseboats and hidden canals

From the water you’ll enjoy unique views of the city that can’t be seen from the streets.

Our Amsterdam Canal Cruise takes place on a modern electric canal boat, allowing you to glide quietly through the canals while enjoying a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Compared to larger tourist boats, this experience offers a more intimate and premium feeling. Sit back, relax, and take in the scenery as you cruise through the historic centre of Amsterdam.

Drinks are available onboard so you can enjoy a refreshing beverage while taking in the beautiful views of the canals.

Learn from a Local Skipper. One of the highlights of this cruise is the live commentary from a knowledgeable local skipper. Throughout the journey you’ll hear interesting stories, historical insights, and fun facts about the canals and the city.

Discover how Amsterdam’s famous canal belt was built during the Dutch Golden Age, learn about the merchants who once lived in the elegant canal houses, and hear surprising stories about life along the waterways.

A Relaxing Way to Explore Amsterdam. Whether you are visiting Amsterdam for the first time or returning to the city, a canal cruise is one of the best ways to experience the Dutch capital. Enjoy a relaxing 75-minute journey through the UNESCO canals while admiring the city’s architecture, bridges, and vibrant atmosphere.
