Description

DISCLAIMER: We operate multiple luxurious, historic covered ships each unique in character so your vessel may differ slightly from the one shown in images.

Experience an unforgettable evening on Amsterdam’s canals during the Amsterdam Light Festival, when more than 20 striking artworks illuminate the city. This is no standard tourist boat or exposed open-boat experience, but an elegant historic ship normally reserved for private events and hospitality charters.

The experience combines a beautifully restored century-old vessel, a fully covered and heated interior, comfortable seating, atmospheric canals at night and personal service from a welcoming crew.

Your journey begins in the heart of Amsterdam, just five minutes from Dam Square. Step aboard and enjoy an evening filled with comfort, conversation and wonder while the city’s illuminated artworks pass by your window.

Drinks are available for purchase onboard and are unlimited with selected ticket options. Choose from wine, local beer and non-alcoholic refreshments while our attentive crew looks after you throughout the cruise.

A knowledgeable guide brings the artworks to life with fascinating stories. Meanwhile, you can relax inside the warm cabin and enjoy the convenience of an onboard restroom—especially welcome during a winter evening.

This is more than a sightseeing cruise: it is an intimate and atmospheric journey through Amsterdam by night.
