Embark on a unique winter canal cruise experience Amsterdam in a whole another light. Sit back and relax on the water while immersing yourself in the Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam's annual spectacular light show. Witness the collection of approximately 25 stunning artworks as you cruise along the official festival route during this 75 minute tour.

Each year, Amsterdam lights up with an exhibition during the dark, wintery months. The city transforms the canals into a unique and beautiful landscape, full of art that illuminates the city.

One of the most enchanting ways to experience the festival is by taking a canal cruise that glides past the illuminated artworks. From the water, you'll enjoy an uninterrupted view of the installations, many of which are positioned both on the quayside and directly above the canals. The route is thoughtfully designed to showcase the full spectrum of the festival's artistic expression, offering a peaceful and immersive journey through the heart of Amsterdam.

On board, a heated and comfortable boat provides shelter from the winter chill, while an audio guide in English and Dutch shares insights into the stories behind each artwork. Though every installation tells its own tale, recurring themes of hope, connection, and transformation emerge throughout. With a canal cruise ticket, the coldest season becomes a celebration of light, warmth, and imagination.
