Overview

This 1-hour canal cruise through the Amsterdam canals is by far the best activity outdoors at night time. Why? The city is simply impressive after dark and there’s no need to describe how romantic it can be. Once the dark sets, the city turns into a magical scene as the lights glitter on the waters, just like in a true fairytale.
During this tour, you will be cruising through the world-famous canals also known as the “Venice of North”. Our local skippers will delight you with insightful stories about the city’s history.

This boat tour is operated by FLAGSHIP AMSTERDAM.

We have 2 different departure points, please book the option you would like to depart from before paying.

What To Expect

The Jordaan (Pass By)

The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.

Singel (Pass By)

The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which encircled the city in the Middle Ages. It served as a moat around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay, near the Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.

One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.
