2-Hour SAIL Amsterdam Night Cruise with Drinks & Fireworks

Get ready for a 2-hour evening cruise during SAIL Amsterdam, complete with a glass of bubbles or another drink of your choice and unbeatable views of Tall Ships and fireworks.

Getting started

Arrive 15 minutes early at your departure point near MS. Van Riemsdijkweg 51, Amsterdam Noord—look for Piers 3 and 4, the “Jan Smit” boat, and the Lovers Canal Cruises beach flags. Just show your mobile ticket to board. Minimum age is 12.

What to expect

This is no ordinary boat ride. It’s a night cruise offering front-row views of SAIL 2025—an international maritime celebration held only once every five years. The 2025 edition marks SAIL’s 50th anniversary and Amsterdam’s 750th birthday, making it a truly historic occasion.

Features

• Tall Ships lit for the night: Sail past an awe-inspiring fleet of heritage vessels, historic navy ships, and majestic Tall Ships, all docked and glowing under golden lights that reflect on the water.

• Fireworks on the water: Watch the night sky burst with color as fireworks light up the harbor. With open water views and room to breathe, this beats any street-side spot.

• Drinks included: A glass of bubbles or a drink of your choice is included. Enjoy it as you cruise past landmarks and soak in the music and night-time sparkle of the city.

• Iconic views of Amsterdam: The city’s skyline is lit with history and modern charm and forms the perfect backdrop. Every angle tells a story as you glide through centuries of architecture.

• Onboard amenities: There’s a bathroom on board and a well-stocked bar if you'd like to purchase more drinks.

• Additional upgrades: Treat yourself to upgrades like a personal host, bubbly, or cheeseboard while soaking in the sunset and fireworks.
