The city is known for many things – its iconic canals, picturesque and historic cityscape and, of course, the famous Amsterdam canal cruise – So why not combine all of these things in the best way possible and enjoy an open bar on our luxurious electric boat? No trip to Amsterdam is complete without a trip out on the canals so let’s make our Amsterdam Canal cruise the highlight of your visit!
Depart from the city center and cruise through some of the city's main canals. Make your way onto the Amstel River, under the 7 bridges, and discover hidden gems that only a local skipper and host will know how to find.
Your cruise will eventually return to the same spot in which you started, right in the city center, exactly where you will want to be after a cruise with an open bar.

Our tour with Edward and Ron. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on board, so we enjoyed a completely private tour of the canals. Edward’s stories were fascinating and Ron’s navigation was perfect. It was such a personal and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and high-quality Amsterdam experience!
