Description

Experience the enchantment of the Amsterdam Light Festival on an electric boat cruise with (optional) beer, wine, glühwein, hot chocolate, soda and a welcome snack. Embark on a journey of wonder and illumination while under warm blankets. Learn about the history of the canals and facts about the city.

Settle into the luxurious comfort of a modern, fully electric boat, designed to shield you from the elements, and set out on a cruise through the vibrant heart of Amsterdam. As twilight descends, pass by a captivating gallery of 20 luminous art installations that adorn the canals.

For its fifteenth edition, Amsterdam once again becomes a setting for light art. Each artist brings their own perspective on the city. Alongside a new route featuring 20 light artworks, there will be a range of free events and side programming. This year, the city takes centre stage: rediscover Amsterdam with an open mind.

Wrapped in warmth with provided blankets, immerse yourself in the city's beauty and allure from the cozy haven of your boat. Listen to stories shared by your skipper or host.

Delve into the stories behind the art pieces, explore the rich history of the canals, and uncover insights about the city itself. All the while, indulge in an (optional) selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, generously provided without limit from the onboard bar.

The festival runs from 26 November 2026 through 17 January 2027.

Good to know before you go
  • Due to the high activity on the canals during the light festival, the boat can experience delays
  • Our sloops are partly covered with roll-down side panels. They are not heated, and warm blankets are provided, so dress for a winter evening
