Audio guide
-
Cruise through Amsterdam's famous canal belt, gliding past Herengracht, Keizersgracht, the waterfront IJ and centuries old landmarks along this 75-mins sail.
-
The onboard host keeps everything running smoothly while multilingual audio reveals how Amsterdam grew from trading port to city.
-
At seven locations, slip on a VR headset and watch quiet canals transform into crowded waterways filled with merchants, ships and markets.
-
Rather than viewing history in a museum, this experience will help you see the canals, neighborhoods and waterfronts return to their 17th century version.
-
Pick this cruise if traditional sightseeing feels too passive and you'd rather visualize how Amsterdam looked during its Golden Age.
