By booking an Evening Cruise in Amsterdam from Blue Boat, you choose a cruise from a family business with a lot of love for the city – and therefore a company that wants to show you the best Amsterdam has to offer.

During this 90-minute evening cruise, you'll see the city in a completely different light. Amsterdam might not be known as the most romantic city, but when all the bridges light up, the city has a completely different vibe. The illuminated Skinny Bridge is certainly a feast for the eyes, while you discover the canals of Amsterdam after sunset! As you enjoy your drink, you can watch the stately 17th-century warehouses of the Dutch capital glide by and take pictures to your heart’s content of the bridges over Amstel river.

The info provided on history of Amsterdam was excellent

Really lovely cruise. The captain was great, only criticism is around safety briefing as there wasn’t one. Apart from that definitely an excellent tour and very good value for money

We are so glad we decided to take this fantastic canal cruise, staff couldn’t have been more helpful, the cruise gave a different perspective to the sights and sounds of Amsterdam & was very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip & would recommend it. Thank you from the Highlands of Scotland!!
