What to expect
Experience Amsterdam in a relaxed and personal way on a small open boat cruise through the city’s iconic canals.
With fewer people on board, enjoy more space, better views, and real interaction with your captain — creating an intimate and engaging experience on the water.
As you cruise through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canals, your local guide shares stories about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. Unlike audio tours, you can ask questions and be part of the conversation.
Thanks to the boat’s smaller size, you’ll explore narrow canals and hidden parts of the city that many standard routes don’t reach — offering a unique perspective beyond the usual highlights.
Sit back, relax, and take in the atmosphere as you pass charming canal houses, historic bridges, and lively streets. With no windows or obstructions, it’s perfect for photos and a fully immersive experience.
Whether it’s your first visit or you’ve been before, this cruise offers a refreshing, personal, and authentic way to experience Amsterdam from the water.
