Amsterdam: Saloon Boat Cruise + Unlimited Drinks & Bite option
Overview
Step aboard our luxurious classic saloon boat and discover Amsterdam from the water in style. During this 1-hour canal cruise, our experienced skipper and live guide will take you past the city’s most iconic landmarks while sharing stories about Amsterdam’s rich culture and history.
Relax on a heated, 100% electric boat with panoramic windows offering beautiful views of Amsterdam’s canals. Enjoy the city's atmosphere with a drink from the onboard bar, serving wine, beer, and soft drinks.
Choose the unlimited drinks option if you would like to enjoy beer, wine, and soft drinks during the cruise. When selecting this option, you will also receive a box of small savoury bites during the trip. Drinks can also be purchased on board if you choose an option without unlimited drinks.
