Amsterdam Canals Cruise Including Dinner and Onboard Commentary
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Learn about Amsterdam and its top attractions on a 2-hour evening canal cruise with onboard commentary plus a 4-course dinner! After a welcome drink of Kir Royale (Champagne with blackcurrant liquor), cruise around town while hearing tales of city sights like the Anne Frank House. As the sun goes down over sights such as Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam’s vibrant flower market, enjoy a delicious 4-course dinner with drinks.
Hop aboard your Amsterdam canal sightseeing cruise at Prins Hendrikkade in the center of town, and start your evening cruise by picking up a welcome drink of Kir Royale, and then take a seat in the boat’s lower deck saloon or out on deck.
Glide past West Church (Westerkerk) and look out for the Anne Frank House, a short distance away. Hear about Amsterdam’s most poignant attraction from the onboard commentary, and learn all about Anne – the young Jewish girl who hid in the house’s secret annex while the Nazis were in power.
As you cruise, enjoy a delicious 4-course dinner with unlimited drinks (beer, wine, soft drinks) while watching the sun go down over the city. If you have children with you, a 2-course children’s meal is served, featuring simpler treats like tomato soup and a hamburger or Frankfurter sausage.
Pass Amsterdam Central Station, admiring its glorious Neo-Renaissance façade illuminated at night, and glide past Gassan Diamonds Factory, where the city’s dazzling diamonds have been cut for more than 400 years.
After cruising alongside Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam’s colorful flower market, step back onto dry land at the start point, finishing your evening canal cruise in the center of town.

We arrived early for our first sight of Amsterdam - we all arrived from South Africa during the afternoon - the staff were very friendly and offered us a drink while we waited for departure of the boat. The food were delicious - of the tomato soup I could have drank litres! and the commentary gave us a feel of the overall city - thanks a million for a wonderful trip, with friendly young people running a streamlined operation. They were great.

totally relaxing excellent food and able to accommodate a vegetarian in groupand certainly plenty of wine a little tricky finding the place so build in some time for that _br/_ there was really minimal commentary which probably suited most people as everybody was with friends/fa,mily so if you want tour guide style information this may not be the choice

Review by: Kay P, February 2018
Very well organised, lovely welcome pre-dinner drink on the waterside. The skipper was informative with a nice sense of humour and the waiting staff were very professional. The food was fantastic. Only downside was we were seated to the rear, it was a very cold evening and the door had to be left open to transport the food into the eating area so it was quite draughty and a little noisy from the engine, consequently Id encourage folk to wrap up warm.

Nice cruise, but hard to hear the commentary. Food was delicious, but not really a good menu for kids. They might consider some basic options for kids burgers, pizzas, nuggets, croquettes, etc. if they want to include families, but if not, then it should be sold as a nice grown-up cruise with the focus on the gourmet dinner and cocktails.

The cruise was wonderful. We had a table all to ourselves. The food was very tasty. The wait staff were friendly and courteous. Amsterdam is truly magical at night.
Review by: Joanne A, November 2017
Had wonderfull canal cruise saw Amsterdam from another angle. Food was good,nice relaxed atmosphere. Highlight was canal bridges all lit up at night. This with the buildings all lit up in the background was awesome._br/_ Sometimes a little hard to get photos through windows._br/_ Staff very welcoming.

Fabulous! Seeing the city canals at night when dining on delicious local flavors. What a real treat!
Review by: Shari, November 2017
Perfect way to start our Amsterdam holiday. We had the best seats, food was on par of a 5star restaurant, staff very attentive and wine glasses kept full!
Review by: frank e, October 2017
Just delightful, and the dinner was much better than expected.
Review by: Valerie E, October 2017
We enjoyed every minute of our dinner cruise! The food was delicious, service was great and you can't go wrong with the scenery. We were there the night before the gay pride parade so there were a lot of people on the canals. If you get a chance- do this cruise.
Review by: Ken F, October 2017
Disappointed that the menu was not as advertised
Review by: wallace, September 2017
Everything about this Cruise was OUTSTANDING._br/_ Well worth it!!!!!!!!
Review by: Wayne T, September 2017
The Canal tour of Amsterdam was wonderful! The food was wonderful! The view was fabulous! Please make the speakers a little louder! The captain was very informative! Would do this again in a minute! Definitely a must when in Amsterdam!
Review by: Necla S, September 2017
Amsterdam canals cruise with Dinner is an amazing way of spending time in Amsterdam. While enjoying the 4-course delicious dinner also had a chance of viewing the beautiful side of Amsterdam at night. I have chosen the Fish option, where it began with great starter than, soup and a main dish and concluded with a yummy dessert. You get to eat quite a lot and spend amazing 2 hours time with Champagne, selection of Wine and refreshments. I would totally recommend this tour for romantic occasions and first-time travelers. Well worth it!.

Was one of the highlights of our trip.
Review by: julie20014, September 2017
This cruise was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, we had so much to eat and drink. The staff was very nice and we could learn about Amsterdam while enjoying nice view and dinner. Very instructive and pleasant way to see this lovely city :) Highly recommended!
Review by: Allison S, August 2017
This was fantastic! We did a canal dinner cruise in Paris but this one was far superior. The food was excellent well above expectations and the wine was limitless. They had vegetarian options which was great and they weren't just a salad either. The only complaint was that the PA system was poor and often we could not understand what the captain who was also the guide was saying. Highly recommend this trio.
Review by: Gwen Y, August 2017
Well worth it. Our canal dinner cruise started at 8pm and it was still daylight. There was a welcome drink of sparkling wine waiting for us on our assigned table we sat across the table from each other next to the window. Our meal consisted of: 1 bread with spreads, 2 a small plate which at first we thought was the main entree and matched our entree choice, 3 soup, 4 the main entree, 5 dessert, and 6 coffee with pastry bites. Wine and beer were included with the meal and we got as much as we wanted.

Throughly enjoyable. Captain kept the info lighthearted and a fun evening.
Review by: Michael F, August 2017
Service and food above average.
Review by: David M, August 2017
This was a lovely trip down the canals in the evening and I would definitely recommend it. The food was very good quality. The only thing that was a surprise to us is that we had to share a table with another couple we didn't know. It was ok, but we sat on the aisle seats of the table and couldn't always see out the window without looking over the other people. Also, it rained off and on throughout the evening which made it difficult to see all the sites through the windows of the boat.
Review by: Thea B, August 2017
Even though our meal was not 5-star, it was plentiful and still enjoyable. Wine and soft drinks were free. We had a lovely small group, and we enjoyed the Captain's comments. We felt we had learnt a lot more about Amsterdam by his comments, than would otherwise have been the case in our very limited time. We enjoyed the evening and the beautiful sunset. Would definitely recommend.
Review by: David M, August 2017
Very nice way to end the day in Amsterdam. Ticketing was efficient via internet with email follow-up reminders. Cruise was enjoyable with a free wine before sailing in their bar area on shore. Crew was pleasant and knew their job so as to serve all aboard in an efficient manner. I would change the menu to offer an American dish - maybe Italian along with your traditional meat and fish choices. The vegetarian dish was acceptable.

Nice boat ride and delicious food. A must for families or couples.

Nice way to see Amsterdam, very pleasant dinner. Amazing how these large boats navigate the narrow waterways. _br/_ Very enjoyable.
Review by: EDNA SHUILING C, June 2017
My mom and I traveled to Copenhagen and Amsterdam for a week. Of all the tours we did at both places, this canal cruise dinner was her most memorable and favorite trip. The food, the wine, the service, and the wonderful scenery made the experience truly one of a kind and very enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
Review by: Jane, April 2017
Food was amazing, not sure if you should go on the tour for the commentary because most of the time we were drinking and chatting and completely forgot about the tour part of the cruise._br/_ Perhaps that was bad of us, but we really had a wonderful time!
Review by: Rebecca S, April 2017
Fantastic romantic experience! A personal_br/_ Highlight of my 3-4 short day trip. Staff attentive, lovely atmosphere and food was fantastic! Saw some of light exhibits from light festival too

something you need to do when in A'dam

Beautiful way to see the city at night.
Review by: Benjamin C, November 2016
The food is just great, very good option if you are thinking into a romantic dinner.
Review by: Cecilia O, October 2016
One of the best trips that we have ever done. The staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was fantastic. Would definitely like to do it again.

It was amazing. Everything perfect the meal , drinks and the company
Review by: Philip H, August 2016
Really enjoyable evening. Good food with informative and entertaining commentry
Review by: Leah M, August 2016
We enjoyed the dinner canal cruise and would recommend if you have three or more nights in Amsterdam. The cruise didn't encompass the smaller canals through the city and we would have appreciated hearing a little more commentary from our captain as to the local buildings, etc. The dinner itself was good, the wine plentiful and the service friendly and attentive.
Review by: Geoffrey B, August 2016
The tour itself was very good and informative. We could have perhaps had a little more commentary during the trip._br/_ The food was very good and the service 1st class.
Review by: Sharon O, August 2016
Very disappointing. A tray of dinners was dropped, so I was not able to have the fish I ordered and consequently had a few raw vegetables and some bread for dinner. There was very little commentary during the cruise, so although we saw a lot of Amsterdam, we had no idea what we were seeing. We have taken dinner cruises in other cities and loved them, but this was certainly not worth the almost 100 apiece we paid for it.
Review by: Gayathiri P, July 2016
This was a great canal cruise, the driver and company were great! an essential trip to do when you are in Amsterdam!
Review by: Michael G, July 2016
When we arrived at the pier, the boat company didn't have record or our reservation. _br/_ We had the paper print out and fortunately there was space on the boat for us.
Review by: Paget C, July 2016
The tour was ok. If I had it to do again I would do this tour during the daylight. The food was good but the service was not. We were served a very small glass of wine when we first boarded and that was it. We asked for water with our meal and didn't even get that. Our dessert didn't get to us until we were already back at the dock. It wasn't a horrible experience but for the money I would have rather taken a different company.
Review by: mollyvarquez13, July 2016
It was fun. Food is great.
Review by: Vivian G, July 2016
I would do this again--a great way to enjoy Amsterdam (which has become one of my favorite cities) from this perspective. Relaxing and romantic.
