Cruise the official route of the Amsterdam Light Festival on a 75-minute canal cruise aboard a covered electric boat. See the light art installations of the 15th edition of the festival while enjoying warm mulled wine or tea with a Dutch stroopwafel. Blankets are provided to keep you warm on cold winter nights, and your skipper shares lively commentary in English and Dutch. The cruise departs every 30 minutes right in front of Central Station, so there's no ferry to catch.
Depart from in front of Amsterdam Central Station and follow the official festival route as bridges, buildings, and even the water itself turn into a glowing open-air gallery. Your local skipper shares stories about the light art installations, the artists, and the city.
The covered boat keeps you dry and out of the wind. Every passenger gets a warm mulled wine or tea and a Dutch stroopwafel as standard, plus a free blanket to stay cozy.
You'll pass iconic Amsterdam landmarks including the NEMO Science Museum and Oosterdok, the Maritime Museum, the Skinny Bridge over the Amstel River, and the UNESCO World Heritage canal district (Grachtengordel).
