I absolutely loved how my Amsterdam experience combined beauty and culture in the perfect way. The 75-minute canal cruise was magical—gliding through the historic waterways, seeing the city’s iconic architecture from such a unique perspective, and feeling the charm of Amsterdam come alive. Visiting the Rijksmuseum afterwards made the day unforgettable. Standing in front of masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer, I felt both inspired and connected to centuries of history. Together, the cruise and museum created the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery—I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The rijksmuseum was fabulous. So much to see but a long waist and poor service at the cafe. The Blue boat cruise however was very poor. While the canal cruise itself was enjoyable the audio commentary and interaction from the boat captain was very limited. No. Lear directions as to what we were looking at and no interesting facts or takes about Amsterdam and its history. Very disappointed. We learnt more from our daughter who'd done a different boat cruise only 2 weeks before

Everything was fine both at the museum and for the boat ride. A few misunderstandings in English because the voucher redemption hostess gave us a ticket for 4 pm (we were also early) but then said to wait until 4:30 pm. Then another hostess told us that we could get on at 4 p.m. where in fact there was room. Always ask for clarification when in doubt.

Explore Amsterdam’s cultural and scenic charms with this convenient combo: timed entry to the Rijksmuseum and a flexible 75-min canal cruise.

Save with this value combo versus purchasing tickets separately, and enjoy audio guides at both experiences for insights into Amsterdam’s art and history.

Dive into Dutch art history at the Rijksmuseum, home to masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Gogh, and more.

Board any boat after your museum visit—cruises depart frequently from Hard Rock Cafe and Heineken Experience, both just a 5-8 min walk from the museum.

Elevate your cruise by upgrading your ticket to include a snack box filled with chips, popcorn, stroopwafels, nuts, and your choice of water or soft drink.

A great collection of fine are and its history in Amsterdam and Europe...well spent 3.5 hrs and I would recommend as one of the cities 'must see's attraction. Only complaint might be the tour groups lingering in front of the museum's top works while discussing other attractions...a minor issue.

Easy to book. Enjoyable boat ride. The boat was comfortable, the windows were clean. It was a relaxing ride after a long day of walking the city and the museum. The captain (Sam) was friendly and approachable. Very nice experience.

It saves both time and hassle of going on multiple pages and usung the same card multiple time, i.e. it is energy efficient.

Save time and enjoy two Amsterdam essentials with this combo: direct entry to the Rijksmuseum and a 75-min canal cruise.

Getting started

Begin at either the Rijksmuseum or the canal cruise dock—your mobile ticket covers both. At the Rijksmuseum, head to the main entrance, scan your ticket, and pass through a brief security check. For the canal cruise, show your ticket at the Blue Boat dock and board any boat.

If a cruise cannot take place due to extreme weather circumstances, the company will contact you to reschedule your ticket to another date.

Please display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the redemption points.

If you have purchased reduced-price tickets, please carry your valid photo ID proof for verification.
