Step aboard a small open boat and enjoy a relaxed cruise through Amsterdam's picturesque waterways. Along the route, you'll experience a mix of the city's most famous sights and quieter canals that larger tour boats can't easily reach, offering a more intimate view of the Dutch capital.

Pass the Jordaan neighbourhood, the Red Light District, the Amstel River, the Skinny Bridge, and the area around the Anne Frank House while your live guide shares fascinating stories about Amsterdam's history, culture, and everyday life.

The fully electric boat glides silently through the canals, creating a peaceful atmosphere with excellent views and photo opportunities. Choose between a ticket with unlimited drinks included or a standard ticket, with additional beverages available for purchase on board.

We had an incredible time on the Lovers Canal Cruise! The boat was beautiful and clean, the drinks were fresh, and the service was outstanding. Chloe and Flowa were amazing - so friendly, fast with the drinks, and made us feel like friends. The captain was hilarious and shared such great stories about Amsterdam and the canals. It was the perfect way to see the city. Highly recommend Lovers for fun staff, great vibes, and an unforgettable tour!

It was a great way to spend an hour if you want to see Amsterdam from the water without the crowds. I really enjoyed sailing through the smaller canals and watching daily life pass by. The electric boat was so quiet and relaxing.

Brilliant day out and great value. Got to see so much of Amsterdam's UNESCO canal ring. The skipper navigated both wide and narrow canals perfectly. Staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. The departure point next to Central Station is super convenient.

The trip is amazing. There's time to enjoy everything — the Red Light District, the old canal houses, the iconic bridges. The overall organisation was excellent, and the staff very welcoming and helpful. The drinks on board are good and very well priced. I will recommend this tour 💯

The best part of the trip was sailing through the hidden canals that regular boats can't access. On the boat, the one hour didn't feel short at all — there was always something beautiful to see. The fully electric motor made it a peaceful experience.
