The luxury saloon boat cruise was the cherry on top of my trip to Amsterdam. After lacking inspiration for things to do in the city, my sister and I booked this tour last minute and were so glad we did. The tour took off right from central station, downtown and there were very clear directions on the ticket for how to reach the dock. We were greeted by lovely staff and boarded an absolutely gorgeous, covered boat-- which was great to escape the sun but still feel the cool breeze off the water. The tour guides were amazing, funny, and constantly making sure every group had the best experience they could. We learned a lot about the history of the city and saw so much in just an hour.

Cruise around town was lovely. Food of cheese and other items was very nice. More than I thought it would be. Wine was served and they gave as much as you wanted. It is not a cruise with a lot of information about Amsterdam more of a leisurely journey with food and music.

Due to negligence by staff working on the dock we almost ended up on the wrong boat. We also expected more cheese but the great wine and the fun we had thanks to our guide Sophia made up for it. That woman is so funny and can multitask!!! Thanks to her and Isabel I would still recommend it.

The tour offers a slightly different perspective on the city than walking through the streets; the guides are friendly, the cheese is good (which isn't hard, since all the cheese here is delicious), and the wines are decent and served freely. The "houseboats" are truly fascinating.

Drift through the UNESCO-listed ‘Venice of the North’ while indulging in a curated selection of Dutch cheeses, perfectly paired with premium wines.

Capture the perfect photo of 17th-century merchant houses and bridges. As you cruise, uncover the hidden secrets of the Golden Age that you’d miss on foot.

Treat your palate to the velvety texture of authentic local cheeses, complemented by crisp wines for the ultimate floating tasting experience.

Whether you’re looking for a quick highlight or a long, romantic drift, choose from flexible 60, 75, or 90-minute voyages to fit your perfect Amsterdam itinerary.

Elevate your cruise on a heated luxury saloon boat, live storytelling, an onboard bar, or modern essentials like free Wi-Fi and restrooms for a seamless journey.
