Choose from several departure times throughout the day to suit your sightseeing schedule.Head to the dock point in central Amsterdam at your chosen time; cruises depart at regular intervals throughout the day. Board either a 12-person or slightly larger 30-person vessel — both smaller and more intimate than the mainstream cruise boats — and relax as your expert skipper takes you along Amsterdam’s picturesque canals on a 75-minute cruise.
Drift down the UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal ring, whose 17th-century waterfront is lined with traditional gabled houses and historic landmarks including the Skinny Bridge, Mint Tower (Munttoren), Hermitage Amsterdam, Amsterdam City Hall and the Golden Bend. Have your camera ready as you enjoy unobstructed views from your open-air vessel.
Leave the larger cruise boats behind as you navigate the narrow canals and hard-to-reach waterways of the legendary Red Light District, one of the oldest areas in Amsterdam. This canal system was once contained within the city walls; in fact, the walled canals led to the Dutch name of the district, De Wallen (little walls).
Listen as your guide points out architecture and landmarks and tells stories about this area’s scandalous reputation.
After little over an hour cruising the canals, return to the dock where your tour concludes.
