Things to know before booking your Flagship Amsterdam canal cruise

  • The Flagship Amsterdam Canal Cruise tickets are only valid for the date and time you chose while booking your tickets.
  • If you are traveling with infants and require prams or strollers, choose the Open Boat Cruise with Unlimited Drink Options or the Evening Guided Cruise with Bar on Board. You can also request a buggy using the latter option when booking your ticket.
  • Discounted tickets are available for children under the age of 11. Infants under the age of three travel for free.
  • Discounted Open Boat Cruise with Unlimited Drink Options and Classic Boat Cruise with Cheese & Wine tickets are available from Monday to Thursday, so book your cruise on these days to save your money.
  • There are several boarding points for the cruises, and choosing wisely can save you a lot of time. If you plan to spend just a day in Amsterdam and are arriving by train, choose a cruise departing near the Central Station. If you are visiting the Anne Frank House in the morning, you may want to do a cruise right after that. In this case, you should choose the starting location near the Anne Frank House. If you want to visit the museums in Museumsplein, pick the Rijksmuseum pier as your departure point. You cannot change your boarding point after you have booked your tickets.
  • In case of bad weather or technical issues, your 1-Hour Luxury Canal Cruise on Authentic Flowerboat will be canceled and you will be seated in a closed replacement boat without flowers. 
  • The boats are also wheelchair accessible, so avoid booking a Flagship cruise if you or someone you’re traveling with has mobility issues.
  • Most boats only seat up to 20 people, so if you are in a large group that does not want to be separated, choose another cruise company.

Frequently Asked Questions about Flagship Amsterdam canal cruises

Can I make a group reservation?

Absolutely! You can reserve a public canal cruise for a maximum of 24 people, provided there are sufficient seats on the boat. You can also book a private canal cruise by emailing support@headout.com. 

Are the cruise tours available in other languages?

Cruise tours are only available in English. However, you can request a language preference when booking a private cruise. You can do this by contacting support@headout.com.

Are toilets available on the boat?

Some closed boats have toilets onboard. Open boats, however, do not. Since it’s not guaranteed whether there is a toilet onboard, it’s best to use the facilities before you board the boat. Restrooms are available at all departure points. However, if this is a non-negotiable, you can email support@headout.com and specify that you require a toilet on board, and the cruise company will take this into account.  

What if the weather is bad?

If the weather is bad, the cruise will be canceled. We will notify you well in advance and rebook or cancel the reservation. If the cruise is canceled, you will get a refund. 

Where can I store my luggage?

It’s best to leave your luggage at the hotel instead of bringing it with you, as there is limited space onboard. However, if you are traveling from or to the airport and cannot forgo your luggage, you can ask the quay staff where you can store your bags at your own risk.

Can I choose the route for my cruise?

No, the cruise routes are pre-determined and cannot be changed. However, you can choose a route when booking a private cruise.

Are there any seasonal or holiday-themed cruises?

Yes, there are Flagship Amsterdam canal cruises during the holiday season, including Light Festival cruises in winter. These seasonal cruises provide a unique way to experience the city’s charm during different times of the year.

Can I request a specific seat on the boat?

Seating is typically first-come, first-served, so it’s advisable to arrive early if you have a preference for where you sit. For private charters, you may have more flexibility in arranging seating.
