Booze Cruise | Departure Central Station

Shared Canal Cruise on Booze Cruise

The Booze Cruise is a one-hour amsterdam canal cruise with an open bar and a crew who actually seem pleased to see you. Departing from Central Station, this shared tour runs on a fully electric boat—quiet enough that you can hear the water lapping against the hull and your host explaining what you're passing. The format is simple: you board, you settle into comfortable seating, and someone brings you a Heineken or a glass of wine without you having to flag anyone down.

All-Inclusive Drinks

The open bar covers Heineken beer, red wine, white wine, rosé, soft drinks, and sparkling or still water. A friendly host or hostess handles orders throughout the hour, so you're never stuck waiting at a counter. Snacks are available to purchase if you're hungry, but the drinks are unlimited and included in your ticket. Warm blankets are on hand for cooler evenings, which matters more than you'd think once you're out on the water.

A Smaller Way to See Amsterdam

This amsterdam boat tour passes through the old canal ring, by the Old Church, along the Amstel River, and past the Skinny Bridge. The crew shares historical context as you go—not a rehearsed script, but the kind of details that make you look twice at a leaning gable or a low stone bridge. You'll be joining a small group of other guests rather than a coach-load, which keeps the atmosphere relaxed. Arrive fifteen minutes early to secure your seat. Free cancellation is included if plans change.
