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!

5.00Brilliant provider of services. Our Pilot was very skilled and engaged in conversation pre cruise. Cruise was thoroughly enjoyable and bought this beautiful city into perspective a bit better.
Lovely canals; less than lovely experience

2.00While being in the canals at night was lovely, the audio tour was basic and could have been easily historically and architecturally significant. Also, there was an extremely loud and brash group literally yelling in our ears. And, the check-in was confusing with a long line composed is those who needed to purchase tickets and those who had advance tickets (like us). Not impressed.
Definitely worth your while

5.00You are given head phones to understand the tour. The headphones were a bit iffy. The sights are very pretty in the evening and look much different than a day cruise. The benches are 3 wide. Not all the boats can accommodate handicap or someone on a cane who has difficulty walking down stairs.

5.00We recently enjoyed a wonderful boat trip in Amsterdam with colleagues, and it truly exceeded expectations. The ride was smooth and relaxing, offering stunning views of the city from the water. The audio guide with headsets was clear and informative, providing fascinating insights into the history and architecture of the buildings along the canals. What made the experience even better was the friendliness of the staff – they were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the trip. A perfect combination of culture, relaxation, and hospitality – highly recommended!
