Description
Experience Amsterdam’s winter magic on a cozy evening canal cruise. Enjoy a free signature cocktail, a classic Dutch stroopwafel, and the city’s enchanting lights.
Step aboard a heated, covered salon boat or sloop, softly illuminated and dressed for winter. Upon arrival, be welcomed immediately with a free signature cocktail, “Friendship in a Storm,” made with house-distilled vanilla vodka. Together with a classic Dutch stroopwafel, it sets the tone for a relaxed, indulgent evening on the water.
For those who’d like to make the evening even more special, we offer a Local Delights Box — a beautifully curated selection of Dutch bites and seasonal treats. Enjoy artisan cheeses, savory nibbles, and small local specialties that pair perfectly with your drink as the city lights shimmer around you.
You can pre-book your Local Delights Box when purchasing your tickets, or simply order one on board (subject to availability). It’s the ideal companion to your Cruise, adding a delicious local touch to your evening on the canals.
As the boat glides through the canals, see Amsterdam at its most enchanting: twinkling façades, glowing bridges, and moments of wonder as the city prepares for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Across the water, parts of the Amsterdam Light Festival unfold in the distance — not the full route, but a few luminous artworks that blend naturally into the wintry cityscape.
This isn’t just a canal cruise — it’s a gentle celebration of light, taste, and togetherness in the heart of Amsterdam’s winter nights.
