Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Climb aboard a canal boat to experience Amsterdam at its most beautiful - when the sun goes down and the city lights are switched on.
Amsterdam is best viewed from the water and during this 90-minute canal cruise, you'll understand why. It offers you the best views of the historic city center that is illuminated by thousands of twinkling lights.
Discover the city's top highlights, iconic bridges and the 17th-century buildings lining the canals. You'll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a historical city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change.
While you're enjoying the views that pass you by, you'll listen to an audio guide (available in 20 languages) that tells you everything you need to know about Amsterdam; the stories, legends and historical facts. You can buy drinks and snacks in the ticket office before your boarding!

3.00It is a fun way of exploring the city without tourists around you. The weather was perfect to see a few hidden gems while cruising. The boat is quite modern and clean .
Good experience but could’ve been better

4.00The cruise at night is a beautiful way to see the city. However, I had to sit facing backwards, which was not ideal. We also passed some boats that were open air instead of covered which seemed better for viewing and I would’ve booked one of those if I had known that was an option. Also the captain told a couple sexist and fatphobic jokes.
For our First Canal Cruise, Lovely.

4.00Don’t spend on the wine and cheese box. We brought it back to the hotel. You want to arrive early so that you’re facing forward and near a window to look out. We arrived at 7 PM, the sun did not set until 8:30 PM so if you’re looking for a good evening cruise book for a later time so the bridges and the city are all lit up.
