About Amsterdam Canal Cruises
Amsterdam canal cruises are one of the most popular ways to experience the city's historic waterways, enjoy its beauty and see more of the famous architecture.
- Waterside Views: Cruising along Amsterdam's canals provides beautiful views of the city. You'll also see historic architecture, picturesque bridges, and quaint houseboats lining the water's edge. During sunset or at night when the city is illuminated, the views along the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed canals are truly magical.
- History: Many of the cruises offer commentary or audio guides with interesting and fun information about Amsterdam's history and the landmarks as you pass them. You'll learn about the city's origins, its Golden Age prosperity, and the significance of its canal system, and why it is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- A Relaxing Way to See the City: Whether you're on a daytime cruise or a romantic evening one (the romantic cruise is one of our bestsellers - click here for ticket details), floating along the canals offers a peaceful rest from the bustling streets. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the gentle sway of the boat as you glide past charming scenery.
- Unique Photo Opportunities: The canals also provide photo opportunities that aren't necessarily available from the street view as well. From capturing the famous canal houses with their colourful facades to snapping shots of quaint bridges and bustling waterfronts.
