Plus, with a group size kept to 28 people, you’ll find there’s plenty of room to find a spot to post up and enjoy.

Enjoy the Open Bar

Now that you’re all settled, it’s time to appreciate one of the best perks of the cruise—the open bar! Lucky for you, there’s no need to worry about navigating the canals, so head up and treat yourself to a drink or two. Whether it’s a crisp wine, a frosty beer, or a soft drink, your boat host will make sure your glass stays full.

UNESCO World Heritage Listed Canals

While the open bar is a definite perk, the true highlight of this cruise is Amsterdam’s legendary canals. As you glide through these UNESCO-listed waterways, your guide will share the fascinating history behind their 17th-century design. Originally intended for defense, water management, and transport, the canals quickly evolved into symbols of Amsterdam’s wealth and innovation, solidifying the city’s status as a European leader. Today, they offer a one-of-a-kind view of the city, with every turn revealing charming bridges, stately townhouses, and lively houseboats.

Anne Frank House, Magere Brug, Amstel River, and more

Throughout the tour, you’ll be treated to superb views of Amsterdam’s most iconic landmarks. Pass the Anne Frank House, the somber yet inspiring location where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary during World War II. Float under the Magere Brug, or “Skinny Bridge,” a historic wooden drawbridge that dates back to the 17th century. Additionally, cruise down the Amstel River and tune in as your guide details how it was once a trade route for the thriving Dutch beer industry.

Thanks For Joining!

And just like that, your hour of canal cruising has come and gone. After the boat returns to where the fun all started, you’ll step ashore with a head full of fun facts and possibly a little more pep in your step, thanks to the open bar. After all, it’s not every day you get to float through a UNESCO World Heritage site with a drink in hand. Thanks for joining and here’s to hoping the rest of your Amsterdam adventure is just as delightful!
