Overview

This 1-hour canal cruise through the Amsterdam canals is by far the best activity outdoors at night time. Why? The city is simply impressive after dark and there’s no need to describe how romantic it can be. Once the dark sets, the city turns into a magical scene as the lights glitter on the waters, just like in a true fairytale. During this tour, you will be cruising through the world-famous canals also known as the “Venice of North”. Our local skippers will delight you with insightful stories about the city’s history. This boat tour is operated by FLAGSHIP AMSTERDAM. We have 2 different departure points, please book the option you would like to depart from before paying.

Itinerary

  • The Jordaan (Pass By)

    The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

  • Anne Frank House (Pass By)

    The Anne Frank house at Prinsengracht 263 is where the cruise departs.

  • Houseboat Museum (Pass By)

    Our boats will cruise along with the houseboat museum at the Prinsengracht.

  • 9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes) (Pass By)

    Our boats will cruise along the negen straatjes

  • The Amstel (Pass By)

    The Amstel is the biggest canal of all, and Amsterdam was founded from this canal which was originally a river. Fisherman builds a "dam" and called is Amsterdam.

  • Blauwbrug (Pass By)

    The Blauwbrug (English: Blue bridge) is a historic bridge in Amsterdam, the Netherlands over the river Amstel. It connects the Rembrandtplein area with the Waterlooplein area and lies south to the Stopera.

  • Herengracht (Pass By)

    The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".

  • Singel (Pass By)

    The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which encircled the city in the Middle Ages. It served as a moat around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay, near the Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.

  • Magere Brug (Pass By)

    One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.

  • Munt Tower (Munttoren) (Pass By)

    The Munttoren (mint tower) was once part of the Regulierspoort which consisted of a gate with a tower on each side. It was built between 1480 and 1487 as part of the medieval city wall. Back in the 17th century, the tower was used to mint coins.

  • Bloemenmarkt (Pass By)

    The Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.

  • Museum of the Canals (Pass By)

    For centuries here, money has been earned, art created, feasts celebrated and life enjoyed. This is the story that the Museum of the Canals brings to life.

  • Museum of the Canals (Pass By)

    The Grachtenhuis is a museum on the Herengracht in Amsterdam dedicated to the 17th-century Amsterdam canals. The museum tells the history of the canal belt through an interactive and multimedia exhibition.

  • Magere Brug (Pass By)

    The Magere Brug is a double drawbridge in the center of Amsterdam over the river Amstel.

  • Keizersgracht 319 - Amsterdam (Pass By)

    The Keizersgracht, the second of the three main Amsterdam canals that together form the canals, lies between Herengracht and Prinsengracht.

  • Willet-Holthuysen Museum (Pass By)

    The Willet-Holthuysen Museum on Herengracht 605 in Amsterdam is a canal house that is open to the public, with fully furnished period rooms.

Lovely canel cruise so relaxing and loved the amsterdam stories. It was at 20.00 but I think maybe even later would also be nice lights where coming on as the trip ended and it darken would be lovely in night view too. Had a few drinks and chilled and listened to the sightseeing experience.
