Sail with us through the canals of Amsterdam and admire the impressive light art of the 14th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival. This year’s theme, Legacy, invites artists from around the world to reflect on what we preserve and what we pass on to future generations.
During this 75-minute cruise, you will encounter more than 20 light artworks that transform the city into an open-air art festival. Experience it from a classic, luxurious, heated saloon boat while enjoying drinks such as wine, mulled wine, beer, or soft drinks. An unlimited drinks option is also available.
Step aboard, admire the illuminated canals, and be part of an inspiring celebration of light, art, and the stories that connect us.

2.00This experience is extremely misleading in how it is sold: - “just nine people makes for a small, intimate group” - there were over 60 people on the boat - 1:15 length - it was over 1:45 - unlimited drinks and snacks. The snacks were extremely limited It was also extremely chaotic trying to queue and find the right boat. I do not recommend this experience. The hosts were great, despite having to shout as the microphone was broken.
Look no further, this canal cruise is the best!

5.00Easy, intimate, and great skippers. Memorable boat ride for 1 hour. If I had to give one recommendation it would be to wish it was about 30 minutes longer. However, no marks taken off for 60 minutes. Everything was clean, organized and nice about this cruise. Thanks for a memorable time!
Wonderful Experience
