What makes this cruise special
Your cruise in detail
Experience Amsterdam’s canals in the evening on a classic open boat with quiet electric propulsion. As the city grows darker, illuminated bridges and façades offer a different perspective from daytime. The atmosphere varies with the season and departure time; the experience is Amsterdam in evening light, not a guaranteed sunset moment.
The cruise includes a tasting of Dutch cheese. The onboard bar offers prosecco, spritzers, beer and wine, among other drinks. Drinks are not automatically included in a basic ticket. Available drinks and package contents may change daily. Check the selected package in the booking window before paying.
The local guide shares stories about Amsterdam, its buildings and life along the canals. You can also follow the multilingual audio tour on your own phone. Bring a charged phone. Check the available audio languages when booking; the audio language may differ from the language spoken by the guide.
Along the canals
Discover Amsterdam’s historic canals from the water. This listing does not specify a fixed sequence of sights. The skipper chooses the route according to conditions on the water. A particular bridge, street or sunset is therefore not guaranteed on every departure.
