Highly recommended if you don’t want a standard cruise

1 April 2025    Couples

A very nice experience, partly because of the enthusiastic guide who told facts that I had not heard before while I have been to Amsterdam often. What is also very nice, was that it is not as massive as I see with other boat companies. Really recommended!

Super experience with captain Dex! Highly recommended!

1 April 2025

What a wonderful boat trip I had with my 3 year old daughter! Captain Dex was really great - helpful, friendly and with a lot of knowledge of the canal belt - and showed us Amsterdam in a wonderful way. I can highly recommend a boat trip with Captain Dex and Circle Line!

Nice cruise, nice captain

31 March 2025

Today on a somewhat dark day we had a super fun boat tour through Amsterdam. After visiting the Anne Frank museum we could just walk to the quay. The tour was guided super nicely by Simon, the captain. He gave fun and interactive explanations of everything there was to see (and sometimes not to see). Made our day! Thnx!

It was very nice, we were on a neat quiet boat. On this tour there was a very enthusiastic skipper with a lot of humor about the city. This tour is highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our canal cruises in Amsterdam—right here for you.

More questions and answers

Our cruises last between 60 and 75 minutes, depending on the cruise and traffic on the canals.

You can buy tickets directly on the boat, at our Ticket Shop, at our restaurant Smidtje Canal Café, or online. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time slot and avoid disappointment in case the boat is full.

Our boats are accessible for passengers with a foldable wheelchair, as long as you’re able to take two or three steps to get on and off the boat. We recommend boarding at the Anne Frank House location, as the Central Station stop has a steep staircase down to the dock.

Bringing your own food and drinks is not allowed. However, if you board at the Anne Frank House, you can grab a snack or drink at our Smidtje Canal Café and bring it on board. If you’re boarding at Central Station, snacks and drinks are available on the boat.

No worries! In case of bad weather, our boats are covered and heated. During summer, you can enjoy the sunshine through the open roof and relax on the back deck. Our cruises are a great experience all year round!
