    Every winter, the Amsterdam Light Festival (ALF) illuminates the city with beautiful works of light art. Designers, architects, and artists from around the world submit hundreds of ideas and a selection committee carefully curates about 30 of these artworks that make up the festival’s installations. These glittering light sculptures are then popped up along the canals of the city and around the Amstel River.

    Sail away on a high-end, luxury cruise boat to best enjoy the 10th edition of this festival. After a warm welcome by the skipper and the hostess, enter the boat (it is 100% electric and eco-friendly) and settle down snugly on the heated pillows. Sip on the appetizer drink - ice cold, steaming hot, or with lots of whipped cream and sprinkles - and enjoy the company of a very enthusiastic crew. The canal boat offers 360-degree visibility through its large windows, granting you access to spectacular views of the light artworks. As you sail through this lovely route, learn all about the story behind the pieces of art. Fun fact: the cruise boat you board also has its own unique history. Ask your skipper about the history of your boat, and they will be happy to tell you all about it!
