Experience the romance and charm of an evening canal cruise through Amsterdam’s iconic waterways.

Welcome aboard our Spectacular Evening Canal Cruise through Amsterdam!

This evening canal cruise takes place on one of our luxurious boutique boats, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience with three delicious drinks and a Dutch cheese tasting served as an individual platter per group. Yum!

The Route of the Spectacular Evening Canal Cruise


We have tailored our evening route to showcase the most scenic parts of the historic canal belt, illuminated in all its glory. There will be countless photo opportunities of the beautifully lit canals, such as the tunnel of lights at the Seven Bridges and the famous Skinny Bridge over the Amstel River—some of our favourite sights along the way.

Our boats are waiting for you!


We’d love you to meet our beautiful boats: Small Open Boat Geertje , Classic Boat Schollevaar , Prestigious Pure Spirit , Yacht of the Canals Stan Huygens , and Luxury Boat Lucy .

All of our boats are real eye catchers, and some of them are even more than 100 years old. We carefully restored them years ago to meet today’s modern standards. Our boats are fully electrical and emission-free, ensuring our tours to be as environmentally friendly as possible. On top of that, each of our boats are modular and prepared for any weather type thanks to the cabriolet canopies.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Our terms and conditions policy can be found here.

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.

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.
