Sail through the illuminated heart of Amsterdam, passing sights such as the NEMO Science Museum and the beautifully restored Maritime Museum. As you glide along the water, enjoy live commentary from your local skipper, or learn more about the artworks, artists, and themes through an informative brochure or multilingual audio guide (available in English, German, and Dutch).
