Enjoy the Open Bar

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.

And just like that, your hour of canal cruising has come and gone.
