- The Amstel - The Amstel is the largest canal, and Amsterdam originated from this canal, which was once a river. Fishermen constructed a “dam” and named it Amsterdam.
- Seven Bridges View Point - Due to the curved nature of most canals in Amsterdam, it’s rare to see through so many bridges at once!
- Dutch National Opera & Ballet - The Dutch National Opera (DNO; formerly De Nederlandse Opera, now De Nationale Opera in Dutch) is an opera company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its current home is the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, located in the Stopera building, a modern structure designed by Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer, which opened in 1986.
- Herengracht - The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside these main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, enhancing Amsterdam’s reputation as the “Venice of the North.”
- Flagship Amsterdam - The itinerary varies slightly depending on the departure location. Each route has its own unique charm! Please contact our support team for more details.

Best canal cruise we have done - Having done quite a few canal cruises, this was by far the best! It was about a 10 minute walk from Dam Square (opposite Anne Frank Museum) and the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially helping my elderly mother onto the boat. It was a lovely laid out boat and accommodated roughly 15 people. The staff were informative and we learned some new facts we hadn't heard before. There were plenty of cold drinks on board to purchase. As it was open top and an extremely hot day, I would advise bringing shade of some sort, if possible.

Very bad and deception!!!! - VERY BAD!!
We have ordered a ticket for this shipping company through the Amsterdam light festival. Upon arrival from the quay I had to show my booking and we were put in a line. Then we were pointed to a boat that we did not book for. We had booked a Close heated saloon boat with real windows. I indicated this and then put it in another line. Then we are again shown in a kind of similar boat. Again indicated that I did not book this. We were told they only had these boats... Very strange because do not give this option when booking. Then not being able to see anything of the light festival through windows that were fogged up. 75 min sat in the cold and hot drinks were also not good. If you need to go to the toilet, you better do it in advance because of no room to sit at all. Very unfortunate because I did pay 30euro pp for a very bad experience. Light festival was also not a bag on..
