Full description

This small-group cruise glides through Amsterdam's canal belt and along the Amstel, passing houseboats, leaning façades and the Seven Bridges. A skipper and host share live stories, supported by a QR-accessed audio guide in ten languages.

The shared boat carries a maximum of 28 guests and is covered when it rains. Choosing the open-bar option adds unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks, while snacks are not part of the ticket, though stroopwafels can be bought on board.

Late-afternoon and evening sailings suit couples looking for a relaxed sightseeing hour.
