Get enchanted during a 90-minute Evening Cruise through Amsterdam

Our Evening Cruise is a 90-minute cruise that introduces you to the unique atmosphere of Amsterdam at night. Thousands of lights illuminate the hundreds of bridges and iconic canal houses and give the city an almost magical appearance. Step aboard our comfortable and warm boat and choose from one of the 20 available languages in our Personal Audio System. Our audio guide tells you everything you need to know about Amsterdam, such as the origin of the canals, life in the city during the Golden Age and more. Enjoy the beautiful views that pass you by as night falls over Amsterdam. The gorgeous buildings alongside the canals, such as 15th century merchant houses, look extra enchanting during an Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise.

What can I expect from an Evening Cruise in Amsterdam with Blue Boat Company?

If you book an Evening Cruise in Amsterdam from Blue Boat, you choose a cruise from a family business with a lot of love for the city – and therefore a company that wants to show you the best Amsterdam has to offer. During our 90-minute Evening Cruise you will see the city in a completely different light. Believe us: Amsterdam might not be known as the most romantic city, but when all the bridges light up, the city has a completely different vibe. The illuminated Skinny Bridge is certainly a feast for the eyes. Discover the canals of Amsterdam after sunset!

While you enjoy your drink, watch the stately 17th-century warehouses of the Dutch capital glide by and take pictures to your heart’s content of the bridges over Amstel river. You can buy tasty snacks and extra drinks at our ticketing office in advance.

Optional: Add a snack box or our wine and cheese offer to your booking and enjoy some snacks and drinks during your canal cruise! The snack box includes chips, popcorn, stroopwafels, nuts, and a water or soft drink of your choice. The wine and cheese offer includes a glass of wine, a deluxe nut mix, and regional cheese.
