Itinerary
Discover the best sights on LOVERS’ Semi-Open Boat Cruise in Amsterdam
The LOVERS’ Semi-Open Boat Cruise is perfect for those who want to explore even the smallest canals of Amsterdam’s iconic 17th-century canal belt. Specially designed for comfort and optimal views, these boats allow you to fully admire the beauty of the Venice of the North — whatever the weather.
On sunny days, you can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the sunshine through the open roof. If the weather changes, the roof can be quickly closed with a glass top, or a regular cruise boat will be used instead, ensuring you stay warm, dry and comfortable while continuing to enjoy Amsterdam’s unique charm.
The semi-open boat cruise lasts around one hour and takes you past many of Amsterdam’s most important sights. You’ll glide through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, dating back to the 17th century, and pass famous landmarks such as the Red Light District, Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House, and the Hermitage.
Amsterdam from a different perspective
No visit to Amsterdam is complete without a canal cruise. The city boasts more than 100 kilometres of canals and over 1,200 bridges, offering endless views and photo opportunities. The semi-open boats used for this cruise are smaller, modern and comfortable, allowing access to some of the oldest and narrowest waterways in the historic city centre that larger boats simply can’t reach.
Every cruise is slightly different, as the captain adjusts the route based on canal traffic and boat size. This ensures clear views of the city’s highlights and the perfect opportunity to capture memorable photos along the way.
Your experience is further enhanced by knowledgeable captains and an audio guide available in 19 languages, so you won’t miss any of the fascinating stories and facts behind Amsterdam’s most iconic sights.
Book your semi-open boat cruise today and experience Amsterdam from the water in comfort and style.
