Your Experience

Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise with Unlimited Drinks

Glide through Amsterdam’s iconic waterways in style on this unforgettable canal cruise. Sip on premium drinks as you soak in the city’s golden-age charm, hidden courtyards, and lively docks. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring the moment, this is the perfect way to experience Amsterdam’s magic—from the water.

Tour Overview

Picture this: a sleek, open-air boat cutting through gentle waves, the hum of the engine blending with the clink of glasses. The city unfolds like a living postcard—gabled houses leaning over the water, bicycles parked along stone bridges, and the scent of fresh stroopwafels drifting from a nearby market. Your captain shares stories of Amsterdam’s past while you relax with a glass of bubbly or a locally brewed beer in hand. It’s not just a cruise; it’s a toast to the good life.

Wandering through Skinny Bridge

The Magere Brug—or Skinny Bridge—is one of Amsterdam’s most romantic spots, its slender wooden arch glowing with hundreds of twinkling lights at night. As your boat glides beneath it, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale, especially when the bridge opens to let taller vessels pass. Locals say kissing here brings good luck, but even without a kiss, the view alone is pure magic.
Pro tip: Watch for the bridge’s evening illuminations—they turn the canal into a shimmering ribbon of gold.

Memorable Moments

  • The first sip of ice-cold Dutch gin as the boat pulls away from the dock, the city’s skyline reflecting in the water.
  • Laughter erupting when a swan glides alongside the boat, seemingly posing for photos with the Anne Frank House in the background.
  • Sunset painting the canals in fiery oranges, the air filled with the sound of clinking glasses and distant church bells.
  • Your captain pointing out a hidden 17th-century warehouse, its gable carved with a whalebone—a silent witness to Amsterdam’s golden age.

Ready to trade the ordinary for the extraordinary? Step aboard and let Amsterdam’s canals weave their spell on you. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a loved one, or a group of friends, this cruise promises stories you’ll retell for years. Your seat—and your first drink—are waiting.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the beauty, culture, and flavors of your destination—without the worry of hidden details. Every experience is designed to feel personal, meaningful, and effortless, so you can focus on the moments that matter.

  • Private, comfortable transport that glides you from one wonder to the next—whether it’s a sleek van with panoramic windows for scenic routes or a traditional boat for gentle river explorations. No crowded buses, just space to stretch out, chat with your guide, or simply watch the world unfold outside.
  • Handpicked stays in charming, locally owned accommodations where the welcome feels like coming home. Think boutique guesthouses with flower-filled courtyards, family-run inns with stories etched into their walls, or eco-lodges where the stars shine brighter than you’ve ever seen.
  • Meals that tell a story—from sunrise breakfasts with just-baked bread and honey drizzled from a nearby farm, to long, laughter-filled dinners where recipes have been passed down for generations. (And yes, we’ve saved room for that famous street-food stall you’ve been dreaming about.)
  • A dedicated local guide who doesn’t just know the history—they live it. They’ll share hidden alleys where artisans work, introduce you to their favorite market vendors, and answer the questions you didn’t even know you had. Consider them your cultural translator, storyteller, and new friend.
  • Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the surface: a private weaving demonstration with a master artisan, an evening of folk music under the stars with community performers, or a quiet morning learning to prepare a traditional dish alongside a family in their home.
  • Entrance to iconic sites—without the hassle. Skip the lines at ancient temples, wander through lush gardens at the golden hour, and step into museums with a guide who brings the past to life. No rushing, no crowds—just the magic of being there.
  • Thoughtful surprises along the way, like a handwritten note with your morning coffee, a small token from a local craftsman, or an impromptu stop at a viewpoint that wasn’t on the map—but should have been.
  • Peace of mind, because every detail is handled. From airport transfers that greet you with a smile to 24/7 support if you need it, this trip is yours to savor, not stress over. We’ve even included gratuities for drivers and guides—one less thing for you to think about.

This isn’t just a list of inclusions; it’s an invitation to travel deeper, connect richer, and return home with stories that stay with you long after your suitcase is unpacked.
