Amsterdam harbor sightseeing cruise

Cruise around Amsterdam's harbor, an area around the Port of Amsterdam and the city’s IJ waterfront, on a 1.5-hour cruise! Pick up a guide booklet about Amsterdam and its attractions as you board the boat, and then sit back to see the city sights from the water. Glide through north Amsterdam, seeing Golden Age warehouses and docks, and then cruise past modern architecture such as Muziekgebouw and the buildings of Java Island.

Exchange your voucher in central Amsterdam, and then stroll to the nearby canalside with your host. Hop on board your boat, pick up a booklet about attractions on your route, and then take a seat on deck or inside the lower saloon. As you cruise around the Port of Amsterdam – an important 13th-century trade area that was used by the Dutch East India Company – your captain will announce key sights so you can read about them from your leaflet.

Admire the Neo-Renaissance architecture of Amsterdam Central Station, and see Muziekgebouw – a futuristic glass-fronted music hall on the IJ waterfront. Learn about the building’s large chamber music hall and of the Bimhaus – a much-loved jazz location – that's located just behind Muziekgebouw.

Notice how the old and new architecture of the city merge together as you glide past the Port of Amsterdam to the northern side of the city on the IJ waterfront. Cruise past Golden Age warehouses, docks and boatyards that were used by the Dutch East India Company during the country’s trade heyday, and marvel at the modern architecture of Java Island.

After 1.5 hours exploring the waters around the Amsterdam harbor, glide back to a central canal in Amsterdam and finish your cruise.
