Travel on a covered classic saloon boat through Amsterdam’s canals on this one-hour cruise. The boat moves at a relaxed pace along the UNESCO-listed waterways from the 17th century, passing landmarks such as the Maritime Museum, the Golden Bend, and the Anne Frank House. A local skipper and live guide provide commentary in English, sharing facts about the city’s history and points of interest, with opportunities to ask questions. This cruise is available as a standard tour or with an option that includes unlimited wine, beer, soft drinks, and two types of Dutch cheese. The route differs slightly depending on the departure location but generally covers the Prinsengracht canal and views of the Rijksmuseum, Westerkerk, Royal Theatre Carré, Munttoren, Dutch National Opera, Magere Brug, and views of the Amstel River and the canal ring known as the Grachtengordel. Passengers should prepare for cooler temperatures on the water and a step up into the boat, with assistance available. There are no toilets on board, and the tour is not available for bachelor or birthday parties unless booked privately. Infants up to 3 years old can join free of charge.
