Cruises in AmsterdamCanal Cruise Combos
Why book an Amsterdam cruise combo
- See more with less: A combo ticket usually bundles popular attractions with a canal cruise, offering discounted rates compared to purchasing each ticket separately. This is ideal if you plan to visit multiple sights, making your trip more budget-friendly. Instead of booking tickets for multiple attractions separately, a combo ticket simplifies the process.
- Comprehensive experience: Amsterdam is known for its canals, and a cruise allows you to see the city from a different perspective. You’ll get to enjoy scenic views of historic bridges, houses, and landmarks while floating on the water. Combining this with entry to other attractions gives you a well-rounded understanding of the city’s culture and history.
- Customizable options: Many combo tickets offer flexibility in terms of attractions. You can select from different types of cruises (e.g., day, night, or themed cruises) and combine them with visits to top museums, the Heineken Experience, or even the A'DAM Lookout.
