Experience the City on an Unforgettable Amsterdam Canal Cruise!

Looking for a fun and relaxing way to explore Amsterdam without renting a bike or walking long distances? Step aboard our Premium Spanish-Speaking Cruise* and experience the city from its most beautiful angle: the water.

This unforgettable canal tour will take you through the most iconic and picturesque spots of the Venice of the North, while you sit back, relax, and enjoy a drink from the fully stocked onboard bar. Discover Amsterdam’s charm as you glide past historic houses, famous bridges, and lively canals.

To ensure maximum comfort, we never fill the boat to capacity, so you’ll always have plenty of space to enjoy the ride. Soft cushions and blankets are provided for extra coziness, and in case of rain, the boat is equipped with a protective canopy that still offers panoramic views of Amsterdam’s enchanting streets and waterways.

Explore Amsterdam’s Famous Canals and More

Your cruise will take you along Amsterdam’s most iconic waterways, including the main canals, the Amstel River, the Seven Bridges, and many of the city’s most remarkable landmarks. It’s an experience that reveals a side of Amsterdam you simply can’t miss.

Did you know Amsterdam is often called the “Venice of the North”? With over 100 km of canals dividing the city into picturesque islands connected by historic bridges, it’s no surprise that the canal district has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As you glide through the water, admire the most famous canals — Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht — and soak in the breathtaking views of Amsterdam’s architectural gems. From elegant merchant houses and grand churches to charming bridges and timeless facades, every corner tells a story of the city’s vibrant Golden Age.

Unlimited Drinks and a Relaxed Atmosphere

While onboard, enjoy unlimited drinks — from refreshing beers and fine wines to soft drinks — the perfect way to relax with your partner or friends. No visit to Amsterdam is complete without experiencing the city from the water, and this cruise offers just that.

Please note: this is not a historical tour. The focus is on enjoying a laid-back ride through the canals, with a drink in hand, while our guides share fun facts and curious stories that bring the city to life. For departures and options in Spanish, please check our available schedules.
