City Canal Cruise

On this 75-minute canal cruise, you’ll experience the best views of this historical city, Amsterdam - best viewed from the water.

You’ll see the city the way it really is – from the Golden Bend to Overhoeks, the city’s newest quarter, and from the Music Building in the harbor to the impressive (replica of a ) VOC ship outside of the Maritime Museum.

This canal cruise offers you the best views of the 17th-century buildings lining the city canals, and will also show you the 21st-century city that Amsterdam has become. You’ll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change.

All departures offer a Personal Audio System. This offers audio commentary in a choice of 19 languages (free earphones are supplied). There is also a special audio story for the kids! This is the ideal way to enjoy the Dutch capital.
