I went with a group of 6 and we had a wonderful time. Our guide Maya was amazing. The sights were lovely and the guides were very informative. Thank you so much for a memorable evening!

The cruise itself and the captain and bartender were all nice. The name of the cruise should be changed on the Headout site to Heineken Flagship Cruise. (We were told our cruise was the Flagship Cruise, the boat at the dock was wrapped in Heineken signage so, even though we were first in line, we did not board because we did not think that boat was ours.)

Unwind after a busy day or kick off your evening in style with this 1-hour luxury evening canal cruise, offering nighttime views of Amsterdam’s illuminated landmarks.

Step aboard a 100% electric, heated saloon boat with panoramic windows that ensure unobstructed views of the city’s glowing canals.

Enjoy a smooth, quiet ride with no noisy engines as you glide past twinkling bridges, softly lit townhouses, and sights like the Skinny Bridge and Westerkerk.

Cap off your cruise with your favourite drink from the onboard bar, featuring a selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, at your own expense.

Choose from either Centraal Station, Anne Frank House, or Rijksmuseum, and start your relaxing nighttime journey, with discounted tickets available for children under 12 years.

Evening cruises departing from the Rijksmuseum are typically operated on open boats.

Saloon boats are only heated during the winter season, with plenty of blankets on board to keep you warm. During spring, the boats are generally operated without heating, as temperatures are usually comfortable without it.

During the summer, the boats are not equipped with a canopy. There are enough umbrellas on board the boat to keep you dry during your cruise. If there is heavy summer rain, the skipper will seek refuge.

If the weather is bad, the cruise will be cancelled. You will be notified in advance so you can rebook or cancel the reservation.

Please arrive 15 mins before your departure.

A fairly big step has to be made into the boat; stewards will assist.

Large bachelor and birthday groups are not allowed on this trip.

Bringing pets is allowed as long as it doesn’t disrupt other passengers.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.
