Cruise through Amsterdam’s iconic canals on a 75-minute cruise and sail past the Amsterdam Light Festival artworks. Admire more than 20 illuminated installations that transform the city into a unique open-air exhibition, creating a magical experience best enjoyed from the water.
Step aboard a classic saloon boat with a heated interior and comfortable seating. Relax and enjoy panoramic views of Amsterdam’s illuminated canals and the artworks along the route. The boat used for your cruise may differ from the one shown in the photos.
Drinks such as wine, mulled wine, beer, soft drinks, and hot chocolate are available on board. Upgrade to the unlimited drinks option to enjoy all beverages without limits, accompanied by a fresh stroopwafel or a portion of salted snacks. The photos give an impression of the experience from past years. We cannot guarantee any of the shown artworks.
Amsterdam Boat Experience is not an official partner of Amsterdam Light Festival 2026/2027.
