Overview

Join us on one of our TripAdvisor top-rated and award-winning canal tours and experience Amsterdam's canals on our 100% electric boats. We have small open boats that allow guests to enjoy the full experience. With our 1-hour evening canal cruise in Amsterdam, you will discover the city's most famous sights and rich history while relaxing on our luxury boat. At night, the lights on the bridges cast a beautiful glow over the canals, making you feel like you are sailing through a fairy tale. The cruise is with a small group of people, so expect an interactive tour and there is plenty of room for questions and recommendations during the cruise. Our cruise is a great alternative to the traditional canal boats your grandmother probably recommended.

Itinerary

  • N/A (Pass By)

    The itinerary is a little different for each departure location. Each itinerary has its own charm! Please contact our support team for more information on this.

  • 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.

  • Westerkerk (Pass By)

    The Westerkerk (English: Western Church) is a Reformed church within the Dutch Protestant church in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It lies in the most western part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood (Centrum borough), next to the Jordaan, between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht.

  • Koninklijk Theater Carre (Pass By)

    The Royal Theatre Carré (Dutch: Koninklijk Theater Carré) is a Neo-Renaissance theatre in Amsterdam, located near the river Amstel. When the theatre was founded in 1887, it was originally meant as a permanent circus building. Currently, it is mainly used for musicals, cabaret performances, and pop concerts.

  • Rijksmuseum (Pass By)

    The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace and later in the Trippenhuis. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened in 1885. On 13 April 2013, after a ten-year renovation which cost € 375 million, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. In 2013 and 2014, it was the most visited museum in the Netherlands with record numbers of 2.2 million and 2.47 million visitors. It is also the largest art museum in the country. Our boats will sail along the Prinsengracht with a view on the Rijksmuseum The museum has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of 1 million objects from the years 1200–2000, among which are some masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer. The museum also has a small Asian collection, which is on display in the Asian pavilion.

  • Anne Frank House (Pass By)

    Nestled within the historic confines of the Prinsengracht, this iconic house served as the refuge for Anne Frank and her family during the tumultuous years of World War II.

  • Dutch National Opera & Ballet (Pass By)

    Dutch National Opera (DNO; formerly De Nederlandse Opera, now De Nationale Opera in Dutch) is a Dutch opera company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its present home base is the Dutch National Opera & Ballet housed in the Stopera building, a modern building designed by Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer which opened in 1986.

  • 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.

  • 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"

  • Seven Bridges View Point (Pass By)

    Since most canals in Amsterdam make a curve, seeing through so many bridges at once is very rare!

  • 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.

  • 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.

Amsterdam is absolutely breathtaking from the water. Our crew was so knowledgeable of the area and a lot of fun! We went as a family of 4 with two teenagers and it was the highlight of our trip!

A must do in Amsterdam

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an amazing time on our night canal cruise in Amsterdam! The views of the city lights reflecting on the water were absolutely beautiful, making for a really magical atmosphere. Our guide and pilot were both super friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and stories about Amsterdam in a fun and engaging way. The free drinks were a great touch, letting us sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience even more. Overall, it was a perfect mix of sightseeing, learning, and just having a great time on the water—I’d definitely recommend it!

This is a great way to see Amsterdam by water. They cover all the major canals and give a nice bit of history with the tour.

Amazing way to explore the city

Published on Mar, 2025

One of the best ways to enjoy Amsterdam Canals. We wanted to take an evening tour as the city looks magical with all the lights and the reflection in the water. Our guides were really good and very informative. Would highly recommend everyone to book a tour with them. Bonus - we enjoyed it so much that we booked another one in the morning.

A Little Bit Nippy Outside But Fun and Warm Below Cover

Published on Mar, 2025

Honestly, with there being so many companies providing this type of service, and most of them getting good reviews, I just rolled the dice and went with this one. It turned out to be a great choice. First, I have to say thanks for being allowed to move my scheduled date and time from Thursday 8pm to a day earlier with the same time. Due to an impending two days strike at an airport I had a connecting flt with, my flt out of Athens was cancelled. Only flt I could get where I could arrive in Amsterdam not days after I was to be there were ones that got me there a day earlier. The weather was not great, but it was winter. So rain and wind is par for the course. The boat was covered and well heated. Due to it being low tourists season, there were about 12 people on this trip. Light cheese snacks provided as part of the trip. Drinks for those who selected that paid option when booking the trip. Otherwise, you could buy them during the cruise. The captain was very enthusiastic and entertaining. I’m guessing many of the humorous moments he intertwined with his factual knowledge of the canals and city he has said hundreds of times, but they came across still as fresh and new. It was nice for those interested in standing on the bridge a few moments with him while he was piloting the ship was nice. There was a coworker on board with him who shared the duties of explaining certain nighttime scenes to us, in addition to doing double duty at the bar which was more like a refrigerator that had a limited selection. I wanted to see the city and do a canal ride while visiting Amsterdam, and this more than met my needs. In fact, a few days later when taking a walking of the city I was able to recall things the captain and coworker said about the hooks on houses, why some are leaning, how the Waldorf area became the most wealthy part of town, along with other facts. I would say that is a strong testament to them for them not just dialing it in, but actually going the extra mile to maybe help us retain some of what was said for the long term.
