Official Amsterdam Light Festival 90-minute cruise with live guide

Embark on a 90-minute open boat cruise and experience the Amsterdam Light Festival's 15th edition from the water. With unobstructed views, you'll have the opportunity to admire the 20 light artworks that transform the city into a dazzling stage.

The festival showcases the work of local, national and international artists, each offering their own perspective on the city. Without adhering to a single theme, these artworks engage in a fascinating dialogue with the city, presenting a multitude of ideas and viewpoints. The festival's brand-new route takes you through the eastern part of the city centre, where you can discover the unique light artworks near landmarks such as the Magere Brug and the Amstelsluizen. From the open boat, experience the artworks, canals and city lights up close without any glass separating you from your surroundings.

Your skipper will also act as your live guide, bringing the festival to life as the artworks appear along the route. Listen to engaging stories about the installations, the artists, and their inspiration. There's plenty of room for personal interaction and questions; with live guiding, you can enjoy a relaxed and personal experience that goes beyond prerecorded commentary.
