Overview

  • Sail through Amsterdam’s iconic canals on a 75-minute cruise and sail past the Amsterdam Light Festival artworks. Admire more than 20 illuminated installations that transform the city into a unique open-air exhibition, creating a magical experience best enjoyed from the water.

    Step aboard a classic saloon boat with a heated interior and comfortable seating. Relax and enjoy panoramic views of Amsterdam’s illuminated canals and the artworks along the route. The boat used for your cruise may differ from the one shown in the photos.

    Drinks such as wine, mulled wine, beer, soft drinks, and hot chocolate are available on board. Upgrade to the unlimited drinks option to enjoy all drinks without limits, accompanied by a fresh stroopwafel or a portion of salted snacks. The photos give an impression of the experience from past years. We cannot guarantee any of the shown artworks.

Activity itinerary

ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo (Pass by)

ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo was the first zoo to be established in the Netherlands, and it’s located right in the centre of Amsterdam. It’s a place where nature and cultural heritage come together; a place where history has been created since 1838 and where new stories are created daily. Come experience them for yourself.

Bloemenmarkt (Pass by)

he Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.
