Discover Amsterdam like never before with this special Light Festival cruise, a unique event that transforms the city into an open-air exhibition every winter. Aboard a covered electric boat, you’ll cruise for 1 hour and 15 minutes through the historic canals whilst more than 20 light installations illuminate the night with their vibrant colours and striking designs.

The atmosphere on board is cosy and elegant: warm blankets, soft lighting and the option to enjoy unlimited drinks if you choose this package. From wine and beer to glühwein or hot chocolate, the on-board bar offers everything you need to make the tour a perfect sensory experience.

During the journey, the guide will share the stories behind the art installations and the monuments lining the canals. You’ll discover how light and art blend with Amsterdam’s architecture, transforming the city into a truly unique visual spectacle.

The tour offers exceptional views of the World Heritage-listed canals, where the artworks reflect their radiance on the water, creating a magical atmosphere that can only be experienced from the boat.
