What you can expect

Hop on board an electric canal boat and encounter the artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival up close. We're the official partner of the Amsterdam Light Festival. See the city from the water as you enjoy live commentary or browse through a brochure to learn all about the artworks, artists, and themes. Audio guide in 3 languages is also available (English, German and Dutch).

Head out through the IJ and towards the lights on the City. Pass by the sights like the Nemo and the fully restored Maritime Museum. We sail through the canals of Amsterdam to see the various art works

Admire the 27 artworks of light that are stationed on the way, both in and around the city’s canals. Discover the storey behind each work of art, as you listen to live commentary from your local skipper. Alternatively, read an informative brochure provided onboard.

Marvel at Amsterdam’s iconic winter cityscape including many bridges and historic buildings illuminated. Buy hot and cold drinks available or indulge in a delicious stroopwafel (waffle cookies).
