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.
