Description
Experience the real Amsterdam from the water
Step aboard and be surprised by all the beauty Amsterdam has to offer. Sail past famous hotspots such as the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, the Skinny Bridge and much more. Although these places are definitely worth seeing, this is your chance to experience the daily life of the city. As you sail through the famous and lesser-known canals, take a good look around you; there is so much going on. Look to your left: two neighbours sitting in the sun, chatting and drinking a cup of coffee. Look to the right, where you see a businessman cycling while talking on the phone on his way to his next appointment. At that moment, you sail under a bridge where a couple is taking a photo together. These are the moments, against the backdrop of the centuries-old canals, that make Amsterdam such a special city.
Comfortable and intimate sailing through Amsterdam
Get to know Amsterdam in a unique way and sail through narrow canals that you would not normally visit. With the small open boats of Lovely Cruises, you can sail through places that are inaccessible to large tour boats. In addition, the boats are fully electric, quiet and environmentally friendly. Cruising through Amsterdam has never been so relaxing! Blankets and umbrellas are available on the boat, and a tarp can be put up in case of bad weather. There is even a small bar on the boats where you can order a nice drink. Cruising with Lovely Cruises is comfortable, intimate and typically Dutch.
Departure and return from Central Station
This cruise departs from Central Station, and the captain will also bring you back here. The starting and ending points are therefore the same, which is very convenient! Thanks to the central location, you can easily hop on the boat from the train, bus, metro or tram. The experienced captain knows all the canals of Amsterdam and always has a beautiful route ready. Meanwhile, the guide on board tells beautiful and interesting stories about the places you pass. All you have to do is enjoy. Book your tickets now!
