Description
Experience the enchantment of the Amsterdam Light Festival on an electric boat cruise with (optional) beer, wine, glühwein, hot chocolate, soda and a welcome snack. Embark on a journey of wonder and illumination while under warm blankets. Learn about the history of the canals and facts about the city.
Settle into the luxurious comfort of a modern, fully electric boat, designed to shield you from the elements, and set out on a cruise through the vibrant heart of Amsterdam. As twilight descends, pass by a captivating gallery of 20 luminous art installations that adorn the canals.
The theme of the fourteenth edition of Amsterdam Light Festival is Legacy.
How do we want to be remembered? Twenty light artworks by international
artists show what we preserve and what we leave behind, from monumental
installations, to personal stories. The festival runs from 27 November 2025 to
18 January 2026.
Wrapped in warmth with provided blankets, immerse yourself in the city's beauty and allure from the cozy haven of your boat. Listen to stories shared by your skipper or host.
Delve into the stories behind the art pieces, explore the rich history of the canals, and uncover insights about the city itself. All the while, indulge in an (optional) selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, generously provided without limit from the onboard bar.
The fourteenth edition of Amsterdam Light Festival takes place from 27 November 2025 until 18 January 2026.
- Due to the high activity on the canals during the light festival, the boat can experience delays.
