Amsterdam Light Festival Semi-Open Boat Cruise

Every winter, the Amsterdam Light Festival illuminates the city's streets and historic canals. This year, for its 10th edition, the festival has chosen the theme 'Celebrate Light.' Featuring stunning light installations, sculptures, and art pieces by contemporary artists, the route is truly a sight to behold. What's interesting is that this year, thanks to public demand, several artworks from the previous nine editions will also be displayed.

The ideal way to explore these magical views is via a boat cruise through the canals. With this semi-open boat tour, you'll have unparalleled views of the stars, apart from the twenty or so beautiful light artworks on display. Simply sit back and snuggle in with the blankets you will be provided with to keep away the winter chill. Just in case the weather turns wet, the boat's glass top will cover you, or a regular canal boat will be used. Either way, you will have the best seats!

Along the way, listen to the audio guide (available in Dutch & English) that fills you in on the stories behind the light installations you pass by. Your winter is guaranteed to be brighter and cozier with this experience!
