What to expect on your Amsterdam Canal Cruise?

Join us for an unforgettable 1-hour canal cruise along the highlights of Amsterdam’s canal belt. Take a seat in our modern canal boat and enjoy the great feeling of hearing all the interesting and entertaining facts about the world-famous canal belt without a plug in your ear. In English, of course, so that you don’t miss out on any important information.

In addition to the captain, you will be accompanied by an experienced guide who will comment on your canal cruise live in English and tell you about the history of the city – including interesting anecdotes. Of course, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have in our small, relaxed group.

Drinks are served during the cruise: wine, beer, soft drinks and water – as much as your heart desires, as drinks are included in the price.

Important information regarding your Amsterdam Canal Cruise

The canal cruise takes place in all weather conditions.

Equipped with an electric motor, our enchanting open boat will take you through Amsterdam quietly and in an environmentally friendly way.

If you get thirsty during the trip, we have various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on board. The trip is all-you-can-drink, so have a good time!

Want to book a private cruise or explore more of Amsterdam?

Let us know if you would like to explore Amsterdam privately as a group from the water. We are happy to customise both our route and the duration of the canal cruise to your wishes. Just get in touch via our Contact form.

If you would like to get to know other highlights of Amsterdam, we recommend our cultural inner city tour. It is the perfect way to see the highlights of Amsterdam’s city centre that cannot be explored from the water.

If you’re in the mood for more exercise, we recommend our bike tour through the hidden gem Amsterdam Noord.

Or you can explore Amsterdam’s world-famous museums with us, such as Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Insider tip

Kendra from Incredible Amsterdam: “Amsterdam shows its most beautiful side from the water. On our cosy canal boat you will sail along the most romantic canals.”

Meeting point

The meeting point is next to the Chinese restaurant ‘Sea Palace’, Oosterdokskade 8, which is a floating Chinese temple. There are 2 jetties, please take the one in front of the Double Tree Hilton, where the pin is placed on the map. You will probably already see other boats there. Your guide will be wearing a red name tag around his/her neck. Please wait by the water and arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the tour starts. The boat will leave on time.
