Amsterdam Small-Group Evening Canal Cruise Including Wine, Craft Beer, Cheese
Description
Experience the magic of Amsterdam’s canals at night aboard one of our luxury boats. As the sun sets, the city transforms—bridges light up, canal houses glow, and reflections dance on the water, creating an unforgettable scene. The ultimate way to experience Amsterdam after dark. Enjoy a tasty Dutch cheese board paired with 3 drinks of your choice from our premium bar featuring local craft beers, handpicked wines, and soft drinks. With a focus on small groups (18+), we ensure a spacious, refined, and relaxed atmosphere—this is not a booze cruise. Depending on availability, you'll cruise on: - the Stan Huygens, an iconic yacht once chartered weekly by Freddy Heineken (max 24 guests, open bar, live guiding); - or the Pure Spirit, a beautifully restored launch (max 16 guests, semi-open, self-service bar after the first round).

The evening canal boat tour exceeded my expectations for the night! I was not expecting to learn so much as I was planning mainly to sight see but Captain Mouse had a wealth of knowledge to share and was willing to answer any and all questions. It helped that the cheese and wine was excellent!
Scott was a wonderful tour guide with so much information. The Night Tour was amazing just magical. With the wine and cheese & snacks a perfect trip
A very beautiful, brand new and elegant boat. Friendly, knowledgeable guide with excellent English. Box with cheeses and various snacks very good. No one was smoking on board. Truly an excellent experience.
Our guide, I believe his name was Jurrien, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting information throughout the tour. The boat itself was beautiful, and I loved the intimate setting. Having a smaller group made the experience much more enjoyable and allowed us to truly appreciate the beauty of Amsterdam’s canals. Taking the cruise at sunset was the perfect choice because we were able to watch the canals transition from daylight to the warm glow of the evening lights. It was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend it.
Another way to experience Amsterdam, in an exceptional setting.
It was a lovely cruise but we sat 20 mins in the harbour before we left, so it wasn't truly a 90 min cruise. Everyone's glasses were empty within 30 mins but I think people felt too bad to help themselves, as a result most people only had one drink in the 90 mins. I'd suggest to either add another staff member to help pour drinks or to keep some bottles of wine on the tables making it easy for people to help themselves.
This canal cruise was very relaxing and fun. The tour guide was very informative and it was evident that she enjoyed sharing her knowledge with the group.
Those was great. Captain was phenomenal.! She guided the boat effortlessly while staying engaged either guests. Great local info and funny stories.
We had the absolute best time on our cruise. Our guide, Gigi (his nickname), could not have been any better!! He was attentive, informational, and hilarious. He made our cruise ten times better just with his commentary, we were cracking up the whole time! Highly recommend if you are looking for an entertaining way to see the city from another point of view. 10/10!!
Fantastic tour last night of the Canals. The tour guide/Captain was very informative
