Description

Take an evening cruise through Amsterdam. See canal-side views of the city from a luxury boat. Don't miss out on a quintessential Amsterdam experience and the opportunity to learn about the city's history and culture.

Let your skipper and hostess regale you with tales of old Amsterdam as well as stories about modern life in the Dutch capital. Get yourself a drink at the bar and enjoy it as you drift along, passing famous landmarks and quaint canal houses. Drift under brightly lit, low-arching bridges and feel like you're sailing through a fairytale.

From November 27th to January 18th, you will also pass a few artworks from the Amsterdam Light Festival along the route.

Enjoy an intimate atmosphere with a small group of people. Ask questions and get recommendations for what to do during the rest of your stay in Amsterdam. Please note that although the photo can show an open boat, you may instead enjoy a beautiful classic salon boat during your experience.
