Itinerary
Varied itinerary
The itinerary changes slightly based on the departure location. Each route offers different views and highlights. Guests can contact support for details on the specific route.
The Jordaan
The tour usually begins and ends in the Jordaan neighborhood. The name possibly derives from the French word for garden, 'Jardin,' reflected in the street and canal names after trees and flowers. Another theory links the name to the Prinsengracht canal's former nickname, Jordaan, after the river Jordan.
Westerkerk
Westerkerk is a Protestant church located in central Amsterdam’s Grachtengordel neighborhood near Jordaan. It lies between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht canals and is a notable landmark in the city.
Koninklijk Theater Carre
The Royal Theatre Carré sits near the Amstel River and was originally built in 1887 as a permanent circus building. Today it stages musicals, cabaret shows, and concerts.
Rijksmuseum
The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, initially housed in the Royal Palace and later the Trippenhuis. The current main building, designed by Pierre Cuypers, opened in 1885. After a ten-year renovation costing €375 million, it was reopened by Queen Beatrix on 13 April 2013. In 2013 and 2014, it was the most visited museum in the Netherlands with 2.2 million and 2.47 million visitors respectively. It holds about 8,000 displayed objects from a total collection of one million, including works by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer. The cruise passes along the Prinsengracht with views of the museum.
Anne Frank House
Located on the Prinsengracht canal, the Anne Frank House is where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II.
Dutch National Opera & Ballet
The Dutch National Opera & Ballet is based in the Stopera building, a modern structure opened in 1986. It is the main opera company in Amsterdam.
Magere Brug
The Magere Brug, or Skinny Bridge, is a wooden drawbridge over the Amstel River. The original narrow bridge was replaced in 1871 to accommodate more traffic.
Herengracht
Herengracht is one of Amsterdam’s three main canals dug in the 17th century, along with Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht. These canals form the Grachtengordel belt with over 1,500 historic buildings.
Seven Bridges View Point
This viewpoint allows a rare sight of several curved canals and multiple bridges aligned in a row.
Munt Tower (Munttoren)
The Munttoren was part of a medieval city gate built between 1480 and 1487. In the 17th century, it served as a mint for coins.
The Amstel
The Amstel River is Amsterdam’s largest canal and the original source of the city’s founding, named after a dam built by fishermen.
