Description
Board a historic Amsterdam saloon boat, some dating back to 1902, now converted to a quiet electric engine. Glide through Amsterdam’s canals while your skipper or host shares stories about the city’s history, culture, and everyday life.
Your route passes landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, Skinny Bridge, the Golden Bend, the Maritime Museum, and the Jordaan district. Unlike busier tour boats, these classic vessels offer an intimate atmosphere with a covered salon for all weather conditions and an open roof on sunny days.
You can upgrade to a Cheese & Wine option featuring Dutch cheeses served with authentic Groninger mustard, along with unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks during the cruise. Feel free to ask your skipper for local tips on sights, dining, and activities for your stay in Amsterdam.
