Description

Embark on a unique winter canal cruise and experience Amsterdam in a whole new light. Sit back and relax on the water while immersing yourself in the Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam's annual spectacular light show. Witness the collection of approximately 25 stunning artworks as you cruise along the official festival route during this 75-minute tour. Begin your adventure with LOVERS Canal Cruises, an official partner, located right in the heart of the spectacle.
This cruise takes you along the entire route of the festival, so you don’t have to miss any of the artworks or figure out the route yourself. Our comfortable modern boats are heated to a comfortable temperature, and have big windows all around for perfect views.

Each year, Amsterdam lights up with an exhibition during the dark, wintery months. The city transforms the canals into a unique and beautiful landscape, full of art that illuminates the city. Don't forget to take photos as you see the lights dance on the water of the canals! Take photos of all the art pieces, floating in or hanging above the canals and casting reflections onto the centuries-old buildings.

Watch how the heart of Amsterdam lights up in a whole different way, whilst also learning about the artworks. As you relax and indulge in the spectacle, you'll be provided with an audio guide, available in Dutch and English. This guide offers in-depth insights into the displayed art and the creators behind these exquisite marvels.

Meet your captain, who will take you on this journey through the canals of Amsterdam, at one of the designated docksides. At the end of the tour, you’ll be dropped off back at the same dockside.

Upgrade the tour to include drinks and enjoy the unlimited drinks from our onboard bar!
