Amsterdam Canal Cruise on a Traditional Dutch Floating Bar

1 hour (approximately)

Step aboard a timeless Amsterdam experience.

Cruise the canals in comfort aboard your century-old historic saloon boat, where the charm of a classic Dutch pub meets the elegance of a private lounge. Savor premium drinks from a well-stocked bar as you glide past gabled mansions and under arched bridges—all from the comfort of plush seating in your climate-controlled cabin.

Enjoy the convenience of an onboard restroom and the magic of your retractable roof terrace, perfect for golden-hour views. With attentive service, soft jazz, and an intimate atmosphere, this is canal cruising as it should be: unhurried, sophisticated, and effortlessly memorable.
