Culinary canal cruises

Discover Amsterdam on a unique canal cruise!

Experience the charm of Amsterdam, the city of canals, with an unforgettable Amsterdam canal cruise. As you glide through the city’s historic waterways, you’ll quickly see why Amsterdam is celebrated for its picturesque canals and stunning architecture.

Our canal cruise is more than just a sightseeing tour—it’s like a floating museum. With every turn, our knowledgeable guides share fascinating and entertaining facts about Amsterdam’s rich history and vibrant culture, making the experience far more engaging than a typical canal cruise.

The journey takes you through some of Amsterdam’s most iconic routes. You’ll start in the historic heart of the city, passing through the serene Prinsengracht and Herengracht canals. From there, we’ll sail under the beautiful Magere Brug, along the Amstel River, and through the bustling Jordaan district. This route showcases the best of Amsterdam’s stunning canals and offers unparalleled views of the city’s most famous landmarks.

Super fun canal cruise in Amsterdam

As a tourist in our own country, took a tour of Amsterdam with boat Printing from the Circle Line. Was super fun experience, partly due to the captain who told us about Amsterdam in a very funny way.

Super Tour

The guide was great, got a lot of information and took great photos. The weather was perfect for such a beautiful tour through the waters of Amsterdam.

Terribly fun!

Extremely fun to do once. The route passes several highlights. Both the established, and unknown gems. The captain Simon knows extremely much about the city. He loves to talk and makes an 'ordinary' building or view into something special. Learned a lot with a lot of humor.

A most enjoyable excursion on Amsterdam's canals

Captain Marc and his crew were everything one could ask for in a canal tour experience. The captain was informative and entertaining and guided us flawlessly through the maze of Amsterdam’s canal system while sharing the fascinating history and trivia of the city’s waterways. Highly recommend.

30 years of friendship should be celebrated on the water

Went on a light cruise with a very good friend with Amsterdam Circle Line and was very pleased with the service friendliness and especially the tour with the accompanying text from the skipper which was quite fun. I could recommend this tour to many.
