Description
For a couple of months only, you can view spectacular light sculptures from a unique perspective on the water. This is a two-for-one experience, as you’ll not only see the sculptures but also the famed Amsterdam canals! Hop on a Rederij Paping boat and sail along the official light sculpture route to see what visual delights the artists have created this year.
We’ll embark from the city center and cruise to the Flower market, then continue to the expressionistic dancing houses. Perhaps your imagination will see what the artist saw as you glide past a scene from one of Monet's paintings. We’ll follow a specific route designed around the light installations so you can be sure to see these fleeting masterpieces while they last.
No need to worry about the unpredictable Dutch winter weather, either. You’ll stay warm thanks to our enclosed space with heated seating and blankets. Plus, enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks along the way! This private tour is the perfect way to experience the season’s festivities while avoiding noisy crowds and harsh winter weather.
- The boat has a roof and windows to protect you from the cold weather, but it’s still wise to dress weather appropriately. It can get quite chilly on the water even with our sophisticated heating features.
