Highlights

Experience the magic of Amsterdam’s canals at night aboard one of our luxury boats. As the sun sets, the city transforms—bridges light up, canal houses glow, and reflections dance on the water, creating an unforgettable scene. The ultimate way to experience Amsterdam after dark. Enjoy a tasty Dutch cheese board paired with 3 drinks of your choice from our premium bar featuring local craft beers, handpicked wines, and soft drinks. With a focus on small groups (18+), we ensure a spacious, refined, and relaxed atmosphere—this is not a booze cruise. Depending on availability, you'll cruise on: - the Stan Huygens, an iconic yacht once chartered weekly by Freddy Heineken (max 24 guests, open bar, live guiding); - or the Pure Spirit, a beautifully restored launch (max 16 guests, semi-open, self-service bar after the first round).

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.

The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.

Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
