Discover Amsterdam from the water on a shared small group canal cruise!
On our shared cruises we don't allow pets, because although we love animals we can't be sure the other guests love them as much.
We are of course used to a little rain here in Amsterdam! Both the Geertje and Pure Spirit have a pop-up canopy that can provide you with a cover, and the Schollevaar has a very comfortable indoor saloon seating area in case of heavier rain. Lucy provides a fully enclosed, heated saloon, as does our newest fleet, the Stan Huygens . We also have umbrellas on-board to provide some shelter from a shower so we can assure you that you'll have a great time whatever the weather! In the unlikely events of extreme weather conditions that will make it unsafe to cruise, we will look into rescheduling your trip.
Our boats Pure Spirit, Lucy, Schollevaar, Stan Huygens have toilets on board. Our boat Geertje does not. Luckily we have an office located at Keizersgracht 92H (close to the dock) where we have bathrooms!
The pick up and drop off point for majority of our cruises is situated at the dock on Keizersgracht 106, alongside the water. We kindly request that you arrive at the dock 5 minutes prior to the start of your cruise to facilitate smooth experience. If you are cruising on boat Stan Huygens, the standard pick up and drop off is located at Herengracht 128.
Please arrive at the dock five minutes before your scheduled departure, where your captain will be waiting for you patiently! If you have booked a small group tour we do urge you to be on time, unfortunately we cannot wait for late arrivals.
Every shared cruise we offer comes with an English-speaking captain, ensuring that the entire cruise will be conducted in English.
Yes, ALL of our cruises feature live commentary, where our knowledgeable captains or hosts share stories and history about Amsterdam while you enjoy the views. They’ll make sure you get the most out of your experience.
Our Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam and Highlights of Amsterdam cruises are perfect for families with kids! We provide special life vests for children to ensure their safety, so please request them in advance. Please note, these family-friendly cruises are suitable for all ages, while our 2-hour Ultimate Canal Cruise and Spectacular Evening Cruise are reserved for adults (18+).
We know choosing the right tour company can feel like a challenge, but we’re here to make it an easy decision! Step aboard our stunning boats, designed by superyacht architects, where “wow” moments are practically guaranteed. Sip on a handpicked selection of craft beers, fine wines, and refreshing non-alcoholic options from our open bar, and indulge in luxury catering throughout your cruise. Our dedicated team is excited to personalize every detail of your journey, ensuring an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
