Overview

Discover Amsterdam’s highlights aboard one of our classic canal boats in an intimate, small-group setting. On this 1.5-hour cruise, your friendly English-speaking captain will guide you past the city’s most iconic sights while sharing fun facts and local stories.

Enjoy a tasty slice of Dutch apple pie with whipped cream and two drinks of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) as you relax and take in the views. The perfect way to start your morning in Amsterdam!

We operate different boats depending on availability:

the Stan Huygens, a historic yacht once chartered weekly by Freddy Heineken, offers live guiding and host-served drinks for up to 24 guests;

and the Pure Spirit, a beautifully restored classic launch for up to 16 guests, features a semi-open design and self-service bar after the first round. Windows and sunroofs adjust based on weather.

Vegan and gluten-free options are not available.

  • Snacks 1 apple pie with whipped cream per guest
  • Alcoholic beverages 2 drinks per guest are included in the ticket price. Additional drinks can be purchased aboard

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Amsterdam Highlights – Group Cruise with Apple Pie, 2 Drinks?

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
