The Route: Sail through Amsterdam's most iconic landmarks
Your journey begins at Amsterdam Central Station, where you will step onto our elegant boat and embark on a voyage through the city’s historic heart. As we glide over the shimmering waters, the towering St Nicholas Church comes into view, an architectural masterpiece standing proudly against the skyline. Further along, the legendary Weeping Tower whispers tales of sailors and sweethearts from centuries past.
Continuing onward, the grandeur of the National Maritime Museum unfolds before you, a testament to the city’s golden age of exploration. As the boat meanders through the canals, we pass the famous Dancing Houses, their charming, tilted façades seeming to sway with the rhythm of the water. Then, we follow the curves of the majestic Amstel River, where Amsterdam’s vibrant energy meets serene, picturesque beauty.
The journey leads us through the stately Herengracht, the canal of the wealthy merchants, where the Gouden Bocht reveals its magnificent 17th-century mansions. Finally, as we near the end of our cruise, we pass the majestic Westerkerk, its bell tower keeping watch over the city, before drifting through the tranquil Brouwersgracht, one of the most idyllic canals in Amsterdam.

Cheese & Cheers evening cruise
The Cheese & Cheers Tour is not just a daytime delight; it transforms into an unforgettable evening experience as twilight descends over the city. As the sun sets, Amsterdam’s canals take on an ethereal glow, with the reflections of historic buildings shimmering on the water’s surface. The soft illumination of lantern-lit bridges and golden-lit townhouses create an intimate, almost magical atmosphere. With a glass of fine wine or Jenever in hand, you can soak in the tranquillity of the evening while the city’s nightlife hums in the background. The contrast between the peaceful canals and the vibrant energy of Amsterdam at night makes this cruise a truly enchanting experience.

Wow, what a tour! Pascal made it so interesting, funny and worthwile, 1 hour was not enough. Seen so many spots you wouldn't see, so this tour is highly recommended. Because it's an open boat - and we were lucky enough to have wonderful sunshine - the experience is so much better, too!
