Discover Amsterdam's canals with Lovely Cruises

Lovely Cruise is the newest canal cruise operator in Amsterdam, with an experienced team and strong knowledge of the city and sailing. We offer canal tours on unique routes, with our smaller open boats, which have access to lesser known routes and waterways. Our local guides know the city personally, and can tell you all about its secrets. Our fleet is fully electric and eco-friendly, and we work with partners that also focus on sustainability. The boats are built at a local wharf in Zaandam, and sail through the canals quietly. We offer drinks on board, including Heineken and wine, and have protection against wind and rain if needed! 

Aside from our open boat fleet, we also selected the best tours from our partners, experienced canal tour operators in Amsterdam, that offer the best traditional canal cruises and unique concepts. Enjoy a pizza cruise or wine and cheese cruise, explore the city from a hop-on hop-off boat, or take a traditional canal cruise and learn about the city's history through audio guides. We also have a culinary cruise, with a four course dinner. And of course, during SAIL and Amsterdam Light Festival we also have you covered, with special cruises and excursions during both events. Check our special cruises for SAIL 2025, including a fireworks and bubbles cruise, SAIL-in and SAIL-out and extra long cruises between the tall ships.

We know the Amsterdam canals like no other. Our cruises go past through Amsterdam’s most iconic neighbourhoods, for instance the Red Light District, the Canal Belt, the Jordaan and De Pijp. Sail past like the Skinny Bridge, NEMO Science Museum, Westermarkt and Rijksmuseum. See these highlights from up close while you relax on the water. Our convenient departure points are all in the city centre, near public transport and within walking distance of many attractions. Get on at Central Station, or next to the Anne Frank House, or book a hop-on hop-off cruise so you can start and end wherever you like. Lovely Cruises might be brand new, but we know our way through Amsterdam.
