Overview

On this special evening tour, you’ll see Amsterdam’s canals lit up with magical sculptures. From November 26 until January 17, light installations created by renowned artists will rise from the canals. These stunning artworks transform Amsterdam into an art lover’s paradise.

This private tour departs from Oosterdok 2 (Next to Nemo Science Museum), located in the heart of Amsterdam. During the 90-minute tour, you can kick back in luxury, get close to the sculptures, and enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks.

Our retractable roof protects you from harsh winter elements, so no need to worry about being too chilly. We have blankets on board, and our boats feature heated seats to keep you extra cozy.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on 90-min Amsterdam Light Festival Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
