What you can expect

  • Amsterdam Light Festival: See the City, Feel the Light, Live the Magic!!

    Step aboard a luxury heated electric canal boat and discover why the Amsterdam Light Festival is one of Europe’s most spectacular winter events.

    As darkness falls, Amsterdam transforms into an open-air gallery where world-renowned artists illuminate the city’s historic canals with breathtaking light installations. From the comfort of our luxury canal boat, you’ll enjoy front-row views of all 27 artworks along the official festival route.

    As the official Amsterdam Light Festival partner, we take you closer to the artworks than you can experience on foot. See all 20 Amsterdam Light Festival artworks. Glide through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canals and admire every light installation featured in the festival. Watch reflections dance across the water while the city’s iconic bridges, canal houses, and landmarks create the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable evening experience.

    Not all Amsterdam Light Festival cruises are the same. While many cruises rely on recorded audio guides, your local captain guide shares live stories about Amsterdam, the artworks, and the city’s rich history throughout the journey. This creates a more personal and engaging experience that brings the festival to life.

    Cruise aboard a modern 100% electric boat and enjoy the festival in near silence while staying warm and comfortable inside the heated and covered vessel.

    This combination of live storytelling, luxury comfort, and an official festival route creates an experience that stands out from standard sightseeing cruises. Discover Amsterdam’s most iconic nighttime sights. In addition to the festival artworks, you’ll cruise past some of Amsterdam’s most famous landmarks.

    Admire the striking architecture of NEMO Science Museum, pass the historic National Maritime Museum, and experience the world-famous Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) beautifully illuminated after dark.

    The Skinny Bridge is one of Amsterdam’s most photographed landmarks and becomes even more magical in the evening when hundreds of lights reflect across the water. It is a highlight of the cruise and a perfect photo opportunity.

    Large panoramic windows provide excellent views in every direction, while drinks are available onboard throughout the cruise. Sit back, enjoy a drink, and watch Amsterdam come alive through light, art, and storytelling. This is the Amsterdam Light Festival as it was meant to be seen.
