Itinerary
-
Oudezijds Voorburgwal (Pass by)
Start your cruise in one of the oldest parts of the city. These narrow canals date back to the 14th century and are only accessible by small boats — a peaceful hidden corner of medieval Amsterdam.
Admission ticket free -
Grimburgwal (Pass by)
Drift through quiet canals once used by monks and merchants. Surrounded by 17th-century houses and bridges, this area still feels like the Amsterdam of centuries ago.
Admission ticket free -
Oude Kerk (Pass by)
Built in 1306, the Oude Kerk is Amsterdam’s oldest building. Hear stories of its transformation from a Catholic church to a Calvinist landmark — and its unexpected place in the middle of the Red Light District.
Admission ticket free -
Centraal Station (Pass by)
See the grand Neo-Renaissance station from the water — designed by Pierre Cuypers (who also built the Rijksmuseum), it once caused outrage for blocking the city’s view of the IJ.
Admission ticket free -
NEMO Science Museum (Pass by)
Sail beneath the striking green rooftop designed by architect Renzo Piano. This building rises from the old shipyard docks where Amsterdam's industrial harbor once thrived.
Admission ticket free -
Het Scheepvaartmuseum| The National Maritime Museum (Pass by)
Pass a replica of the 18th-century VOC ship Amsterdam, symbol of Dutch maritime power. The museum itself was once the naval warehouse of the Admiralty, storing gunpowder, sails, and rope.
Admission ticket free -
The Amstel (Pass by)
As you reach the Amstel, the canals open up. This broad river once marked the edge of the medieval city and was essential to trade and transport.
Admission ticket free -
Herengracht (Pass by)
Sail past the prestigious “Golden Bend,” where Amsterdam’s richest merchants built their grand canal mansions during the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age. These houses, with their ornate facades and deep plots, were a clear display of wealth and power.
Admission ticket free -
Seven Bridges View Point (Pass by)
Ontdek een van de meest betoverende uitzichten van Amsterdam: de iconische Zeven Bruggen! Terwijl we rustig door de romantische Reguliersgracht varen, zie je alle zeven historische bruggen prachtig op één lijn – een écht fotomoment. Vergeet je camera niet!
Admission ticket free -
Munt Tower (Munttoren) (Pass by)
Near the flower market, you’ll spot the Munttoren, once part of the city wall. In the 17th century, it was used to mint coins when the French blocked silver deliveries to the Dutch Republic.
Admission ticket free -
Magere Brug (Pass by)
This iconic white wooden drawbridge is one of the most romantic spots in the city. According to local legend, couples who kiss while passing under the Magere Brug will stay together forever. The original bridge was so narrow that two pedestrians could barely pass each other — giving it the nickname “Skinny Bridge.”
