What to expect
Step aboard a beautiful traditional Amsterdam saloon boat from the late 19th century, carefully restored and now powered by a quiet electric engine. Some of our historic boats have been sailing the Amsterdam canals since 1902, offering a truly authentic canal cruise experience.
Relax as you glide through the UNESCO-listed Amsterdam canals while your skipper or host shares stories about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. Along the way, you will pass famous landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, the Skinny Bridge, the Golden Bend, the Maritime Museum, and the charming Jordaan district.
Unlike larger tour boats, these classic saloon boats offer a more intimate and comfortable atmosphere. The covered salon keeps you comfortable in all weather conditions, and on sunny days, the roof can open so you can fully enjoy the Amsterdam canals.
You can choose to upgrade your cruise with the Cheese & Wine option. This includes local Dutch cheeses served with authentic Groninger mustard, together with unlimited drinks including wine, beer, and soft drinks while you cruise through the canals.
During the cruise, feel free to ask your skipper or host questions and get local recommendations for things to see, do, and eat during the rest of your stay in Amsterdam.
Whether it is your first visit to Amsterdam or you are returning to the city, this traditional canal cruise offers one of the most relaxed and authentic ways to experience the Amsterdam canals.
