Itinerary
As an official partner of the Amsterdam Light Festival 2023/ 2024, join this cruise to see a showcase of the winter art works of this enchanting city, aboard Your warm and cozy boats (with mulled wine!). The Light Festival is on from 30 November 2023 until 21 January 2024. During the Amsterdam Light Festival Boat Tour, 20 artists showcase their installations along a route of the canals, which is of course best seen on one of Your luxurious heated boats on this 1.5hr small group tour. With a focus on quality and service, we strive to show you the best possible time in a refined but relaxed setting, aboard high end, customised boats. Beginning in the famous canal district (Keizersgracht), we invite you aboard one of Your handcrafted, classic electric canal cruisers to experience a unique Amsterdam Light Festival boat tour. We stick to a small group of guests to ensure a spacious and personalised experience.
During this 1.5 hours cruise we will cruise the Amsterdam Light Festival route past the 20 light artworks, which illuminate the canals. Your captain will be your guide, as well as tell you all about the impressive artworks by renowned artists.

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.
