What to expect
If you're looking for a truly special and authentic experience during your trip to Amsterdam, you've come to the right place – welcome on board!
A canal cruise is a must-do, offering a unique and beautiful perspective of the city from the water. Even better, our cruises are conducted in German, so you won’t miss a single detail.
Enjoy a full hour on the water, with the option of unlimited drinks, as you explore Amsterdam’s rich history, discover its cultural character, and listen to engaging stories from your German-speaking guide on board.
During the cruise, you will glide through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed Canal Ring, passing the Amstel, the Magere Brug, and iconic sights such as Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House, and other famous landmarks (depending on the chosen route). All our guides are native speakers and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the city.
How did Amsterdam become one of the richest cities in history? What is the meaning of the XXX symbol you see throughout the city? And how did coffeeshops become as popular as they are today?
Glide past 17th-century houses, picturesque bridges (including Amsterdam’s famous “Seven Bridges”), the iconic canals, and several key sights that give a wonderful impression of the city’s unique atmosphere.
Learn how the city’s golden age of trade helped art and creativity flourish in Amsterdam. Artists such as Rembrandt, whose works now hang in the Rijksmuseum, and Van Gogh, who has his own museum, the Van Gogh Museum, benefited greatly from the wealth generated by trade, even if not necessarily during their lifetimes. The famous Heineken brewery also grew during the city’s heyday. Today, the Heineken Experience has become an integral part of Amsterdam.
Whether you are interested in fascinating historical insights or simply want to sit back, relax, and soak up some Dutch culture, our canal cruise offers the best of both worlds.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Our small boats create a cosy atmosphere on board and give you the opportunity to interact with fellow passengers as well as your guide.
Sustainability is important to us. That’s why all our boats are equipped with electric motors, ensuring a quiet and environmentally friendly journey.
