Jazz Club Cruise Amsterdam

2 Hour Summer Session aboard the Stan Huygens

Let the jazz do the talking on this exclusive cruise in Amsterdam

Welcome to The Jazz Club Cruise – an exclusive summer evening of smooth jazz, fine bites, and canal-side magic. We’re launching this series with the first cruise on Thursday June 20th for an intimate night aboard Amsterdam’s most distinguished boat: our elegant and spacious Stan Huygens.

From 21:00 to 23:00, just as the city winds down and the water reflects the last sunlight of the day, we set off for a slow, stylish cruise through Amsterdam’s historic centre. Expect a two-hour journey through the golden-lit canals, accompanied by the warm tones of live jazz and filled with the delights of a curated open bar and artfully plated snacks.

Live on Board the Jazz Cruise: The Bijou Trio 🎺

Performing live throughout this magical evening is Bijou Trio — an Amsterdam-based jazz ensemble known for their elegant and atmospheric performances using the trumpet, guitar and double bass. Their sound recalls the elegance of Chet Baker and Miles Davis: warm, timeless, and deeply expressive. As you drift along the canals, you’ll hear familiar melodies like La Vie en Rose, Caravan, and What a Wonderful World weaving through the summer air.

The band will perform four 20-minute live sets, making sure your evening sways softly from start to finish. During the short interludes, our hosts are there for a touch of storytelling or to simply keep your glass filled.

More than a Jazz Cruise!


This is not a concert, not a tour, and not a party either.
It’s something softer and slower… A quiet celebration of the long summer night.
