Luxury canal cruise from Rijksmuseum



Experience the charm of Amsterdam's scenic waterside landmarks aboard a fully electric canal cruise. Take in incredible views of the city’s famous landmarks from the water and enjoy a relaxing way to sightsee, free of traffic.

As you glide through the historic canals, your local skipper will provide both informative and entertaining insights about Amsterdam. Marvel at the 17th-century canal houses lining the waterways and the modern architecture that signifies Amsterdam's evolution into a dynamic 21st-century city. The journey takes you past notable landmarks such as the Hermitage Museum, under the iconic Skinny Bridge, by the elegant Amstel Hotel, and through the delightful canal district known as the Grachtengordel.

Regardless of the weather, this cruise ensures an enjoyable experience of Amsterdam’s canals. On sunny days, relax on a contemporary open boat, soaking in the open-air atmosphere while ordering drinks from the onboard bar. If it turns rainy or cooler, you'll be transferred to a traditional covered saloon boat. These classic boats are comfortable and heated, allowing you to savour the canal views while staying warm and dry.

For those who wish to indulge, there is an option for unlimited drinks, including beer, wine, and soft drinks during the cruise. This option also includes small savoury bites throughout the trip. Alternatively, drinks can be purchased on board if you opt for a package without unlimited drinks.
