Shared Canal Cruise on Iconic cruise - Departure Keizersgracht 106

This 75-minute amsterdam canal cruise takes a small group of up to 16 guests through the city's waterways aboard a quiet electric boat. You'll board at Keizersgracht 92H, settle into your seat, and let the captain handle the rest. The pace is unhurried, the commentary comes from someone who knows these canals well, and there's enough time to actually look around rather than rush past everything.

One Drink Included

Each ticket includes a drink of your choice — local beer, wine, juice, soft drinks, tea, or coffee. If you want something to eat alongside, there's the option to pre-order a borrel box separately: a selection of Dutch cheeses, charcuterie, crackers, honey, mustard, dried fruits, smoked nuts, fresh berries, and pickles. It's not included in the ticket price, but it's there if you want it.

Onboard Comfort

The boat is fully enclosed with heating, so rain or cooler weather won't cut the trip short. Children of all ages are welcome — there's a reduced fare for kids 2 to 14, and under-twos can join as tiny co-pilots at no extra charge. The amsterdam boat tour runs in English, and the maximum booking size per group is six, which keeps things sociable without feeling like a coach tour on water. Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before departure, and the captain won't wait for latecomers, so aim to arrive a few minutes early.
