Full description

This sightseeing cruise explores Amsterdam's canal network from a heated boat, so it works in any season. Choose a departure from Central Station, Damrak or the Rijksmuseum area and glide past merchant houses, historic warehouses and landmarks such as NEMO and the Skinny Bridge.

Commentary plays over speakers in English and Dutch, with more languages available through an app. The Rijksmuseum departure can stretch to 75 minutes instead of 60.

It suits families, seniors and first-time visitors wanting an easy, seated introduction to the city's waterways.
