Overview

This 1-hour canal cruise in Amsterdam takes place on a classic, heated saloon boat powered entirely by electricity. The boat has large panoramic windows that provide clear views of the canals and city landmarks. A local skipper operates the boat and gives live commentary throughout the trip. The route passes the Amstel River, where Amsterdam began after fishermen built a dam. The cruise continues past the Zuiderkerkstoren with its white spire and clocks, the Dutch National Opera & Ballet in the Stopera building, the so-called "Drunken Houses," and the Seven Bridges View Point where several canal bridges can be seen together. The boat also travels along the Herengracht canal, part of the 17th-century Grachtengordel canal belt lined with many historic buildings. An onboard bar serves wine, beer, and soft drinks that can be purchased during the cruise. There is an option to select unlimited drinks and a bite during the cruise. The boat’s electric heating ensures comfort in cooler weather. The exact sights may vary slightly depending on the departure location.
