What to expect
Experience the Amsterdam Light Festival from the water on an unforgettable 75-minute cruise along breathtaking light artworks — with drinks included or a Hot Mulled Wine with Stroopwafel (Dutch delicacy). Depart directly from Central Station or Anne Frank House and settle into a warm, covered boat equipped with a toilet for maximum comfort.
Take in the striking views from the lounge-style back deck or through the panoramic skylight. The official audio guide, available in English and Dutch, gives you sharp insight into every artwork. It’s the perfect setting for remarkable photos and a truly distinctive evening on the canals.
The Amsterdam Light Festival is a renowned annual art event, showcasing powerful light installations that you can experience by boat, bike, or on foot. Its mission: to use the universal language of light in public spaces to connect, inspire, and enrich people.
The fourteenth edition centers on the theme *Legacy*: How do we want to be remembered? Twenty compelling light artworks by international creators reveal what we choose to protect, preserve, and pass on.
Terms & conditions
This activity takes place rain or shine.
To board, you have to climb a few steps. Therefore, it can be difficult for people with reduced mobility to board.
For Central Station: We recommend arriving at the pick-up location 15 minutes in advance. Look for the Smidtje Canal Cruises boats with the wooden front deck. If it is a rainy day, it is advisable to bring an umbrella as the pick-up location is not covered.
For Anne Frank House: We recommend arriving at the pick-up location 30 minutes in advance so you have enough time to collect your hot drink and stroopwafel at the café. At the café you can wait warm and dry, buy additional snacks & drinks and make use of the restroom.
