Things to know before booking your Amsterdam Canal Cruise

  1. If you are on a budget, opt for a sightseeing Amsterdam Canal Cruise. These are the most budget-friendly option and take 60-90 minutes depending on the ticket you book.
  2. There are plenty of dining options on your cruise. You can dine on your Amsterdam Canal Cruise by booking a boat cruise with snacks or a dinner cruise. Check the menu that best suits your dietary preferences before booking your tickets.
  3. Consider an evening luxury cruise to see Amsterdam in its glory at sunset or at night. You can also choose to pair this with dinner by booking a dinner cruise.
  4. The cruise you book depends on the experience you want to have. You can consider booking hop-on hop-off cruise or combo tickets if you would like to explore beyond your cruise.
  5. Most Amsterdam Canal Cruise tickets can be canceled or rescheduled. Check the cancellation policy for the tickets before booking. For most tickets, you can cancel up to 24 hours before your slot and get a full refund. Combo tickets, however, cannot be canceled or rescheduled. 
  6. Most Amsterdam Canal Cruise tickets exclude the £1.50 tourist tax per person that must be paid on-site.
  7. Discounted tickets are available for children under 14, and infants under 3 travel free.
  8. Book your tickets for a weekday because some cruises offer discounted prices on these days.
  9. Choosing your departure point wisely can save you a lot of time. For example, if you are arriving by train and plan to spend just a day in Amsterdam, choose a cruise departing near the Central Station. If they are visiting the Van Gogh Museum or Rijksmuseum, it’s better to choose the starting location near the Rijksmuseum.
  10. Opt for a cruise combo to save time and money. These cruises also allow the flexibility to go on the cruise any time on the same day, with many cruise agencies offering an open ticket or a time slot allotted on a first come first serve basis.
  11. Cruise lengths vary from 60 minutes to 2 hours, with 60 minutes being standard. While shorter cruises are convenient, the 90-minute options are more enjoyable, especially when they include drinks and snacks.

Types of Amsterdam canal cruise boats

Open vs closed
Food preferences
Comfort and features
Size
  • Open boats allow passengers to fully enjoy the sights of Amsterdam’s canals. These boats are perfect for sunny days without any barriers between you and the views. They are ideal for couples looking for a romantic experience, photography enthusiasts keen on capturing the best angles and uninterrupted shots of the city, and nature lovers.
  • Closed boats are fully enclosed, offering protection from the weather while still providing great views through large windows. These boats are heated in the winter, making them a comfortable choice year-round. These are ideal for families since they are safe for kids, with no risk of them leaning over the edge, those visiting in the winter, and elderly travelers. 
  • A semi-open boat offers the best of both worlds: it’s partially covered to provide some protection from the sun or rain, but also has open sections so you can still feel the breeze and enjoy the sights. It is ideal for groups with mixed preferences, and those visiting in milder weather.
  • Booze/Drinks boats are designed for a more festive experience, with drinks served onboard. Options can range from wine and cheese tastings to full-on cocktail parties. They are perfect for bachelorette/bachelor Parties, as well as large groups.
  • Food-inclusive cruises combine sightseeing with dining, offering meals ranging from casual snacks like pancakes to full-course dinners. The pancake cruises are ideal for families, and the dinner cruises are perfect for couples, and both are great choices for foodies.
  • Luxury boats have everything you could want, with several amenities, sunny decks, dining areas, and even a host on some boats. These boats can be perfect for big parties or family reunions.
  • Salon boats are a bit smaller and more cozy. They're all about relaxing inside with comfy seats and big windows to enjoy the view. You might even find a bar or a bathroom on board.
  • Paddle boats are the most basic type of boat, manually powered by paddling. These boats are usually small, just for 1 to 4 people, but there are some bigger ones with paddle wheels that can carry more passengers
  • Large boats (regular cruises) are big and spacious with lots of open areas to soak up the sun. You'll find bathrooms, dining areas, and even bars and entertainment on some of them. These boats can carry a bunch of people, from 50 to 80 passengers. They mostly stick to the three main canals, giving you a great overview of the city.
  • Open boats are smaller and simpler, with no enclosed cabin. You're basically out in the open, with a canopy and basic seating. They're perfect for feeling the wind in your hair and getting up close to the canals. These boats can carry fewer people, around 20 to 30.
  • Small boats are the most intimate. They're like a cozy little cabin on the water, perfect for couples or small groups. They can go into the narrower canals, giving you a really personal view of Amsterdam. These boats usually only carry a few people, from 2 to 20.

  • Peak season: The best time to go on an Amsterdam Canal Cruise is between April and October. The weather is pleasant during these months. This also means that these months draw more crowds and more expensive experiences. Expect long lines, packed attractions, and sold-out cruises.
  • Low season: If you want to avoid the crowds, book your Amsterdam Canal Cruise between November and March. Although the weather is chilly, these months see fewer crowds and reduced prices. You can also save money on flights, accommodation, and tickets.
  • On the day: If you want to explore beyond your Amsterdam Canal Cruise, opt for a cruise in the day. Book combo tours to save time and money. However, if you want to enjoy the sunset or dine, opt for an evening or dinner cruise. The latter promises a quieter and more romantic experience.

Visitor tips

  • We recommend arriving around 15 minutes before departure to choose a good seat on the boat and settle in before the cruise begins. 
  • It is best to choose canal cruise tours that include a professional guide or an audio guide for a more informative and memorable experience.
  • Open boat tours are ideal for catching impeccable views of the surrounding landmarks. However, make sure to check the weather before booking them. 
  • Check all details before booking your Amsterdam Canal Cruise. Check the timings, departure points, exclusions, inclusions, and other details. 
  • It's advisable to book your canal cruise tickets online in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak tourist seasons.
  • Most canal cruises do not allow large luggage due to limited space, but small bags and personal items are generally permitted. If you have larger luggage, it's best to store it at your hotel or in nearby luggage storage facilities.
  • There’s a distinct difference between live commentary and audio guides. While audio guides offer language versatility and clarity, live commentary, often provided on luxurious cruises, adds a personal touch and can be more engaging and humorous. Choose what works best for you!
