Enjoy a cosy boat tour during the Amsterdam Light Festival

Amsterdam is always beautiful from the water, and in winter the canals are even more special. The city sparkles with light and atmosphere, making it the perfect time for a cruise. During the Amsterdam Light Festival you can admire twenty artworks created by international artists. From your boat you have the best view of the illuminated route while you sit back and enjoy a drink on board. A 75 minute canal cruise is the most comfortable and memorable way to experience this winter event in Amsterdam.
