Lovers Canal Cruises

About

Lovers Canal Cruises offers a wide range of guided water‑tours that showcase Amsterdam’s iconic canals, historic landmarks and vibrant nightlife. With a fleet of more than 45 modern, electric and solar‑powered boats, each vessel can accommodate up to a hundred passengers, making it an ideal choice for large groups, corporate events, school outings and birthday celebrations. All boats are fitted with an audio guide system in 19 languages, individual seats, a weather‑proof open back deck for fresh air, and a noise‑free environment powered exclusively by electricity. From 9:00 am to 10:00 pm every day, guests can choose from classic one‑hour daytime cruises, themed evening and dinner cruises, and a variety of combination packages that pair a canal tour with popular attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh & Rembrandt exhibits, the Amsterdam Icebar or the Light Festival. The “Family‑Friendly” pancake boat, the New York‑style pizza cruise, and the four‑course culinary cruise are just a few examples of how Lovers adapts its menu to suit all ages and tastes. Booking is streamlined through the official website, where available seats and special group rates can be reserved quickly. Reservations are highly recommended during peak tourist season and festive events, but can also be made at the last minute. With reliable transport links right next to the docking point at Amsterdam Central Station, the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum, Lovers Canal Cruises guarantees an unforgettable, educational, and environmentally conscious experience for visitors of all ages.
