    The best dinner cruise we have ever done. I was not sure what to expect but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The evening started off a little rainy, but the sun came out and at the beginning of the cruise we saw a rainbow how wonderful that was that. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and he enjoyed the cruise much. Seeing Amsterdam at night and going under the bridges and down the canals was epic and beautiful. The food was good, and the wine was flowing. We thought the captain and crew were exceptional. If you have any doubts, don't please book this dinner cruise you will not regret it.

    Lover's Dinner Cruise at Night

    Mary_L, Mar 2026
    From Afternoon, to sunset, to the starry moon lit night, are our dinner cruise was fabulous. Starting with five star greeting to the plated food, our night was perfect. What a great way to see Amsterdam, leaving the dock during daylight, watching the sunset and seeing the twinkling lights of the bridges and those in the homes as we passed by, was such a great experience. Lovers cruise team was not only 5⭐️ but they actually anticipated our needs. We enjoyed potato salad, cod w mashed Potatoes and fresh vegetables and finished with a vanilla and chocolate soufflé with chocolate bits. Beverages were an endless flow. What a great way to see Amsterdam at water level visiting homes as we passed by from the view of our window, watching families and their friends share their lives, and seeing the beautiful rooms , apartments and condos. We enjoyed the fish entrée on a white linen tablecloth, lit by a romantic table lamp and flower's. Fresh rolls and butter, with wine goblets greeted us as we sat at the windows that went to the center of the roof. As we sat down, we were greeted w/ a wood tray of fresh bake rolls and butter, followed by potato and salmon salad, cod, and dessert. We don't drink wine but there was 3 types offered to other guests and we enjoyed sodas and bottled water. It was a great time by all!

    Paul_D, Oct 2025
    Good food. Better than "drinks and snacks" tours. You get to see a lot of the old Amsterdam. Leaving from central station - it is easy to get to from anywhere in Amsterdam.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Dear Paul, Thank you for the nice review! We’re happy you enjoyed the dinner and views of old Amsterdam. It’s great to hear the central departure made it easy to join us. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing evening on board soon. Kind regards

    Shaila_S, Oct 2025
    Going around in a boat is nice. But I didn’t expect to have dinner with strangers next to us. We can’t even see looking out. The food is okay, not amazing. I probably wouldn’t go on it again. I was expecting more, since it’s $100 plus for one person. I feel like it wasn’t that much.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Dear Shaila, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience of cruising through Amsterdam, though we’re sorry to hear that the dinner setup and food did not meet your expectations. Your comments are important, and we’ll review them carefully to improve the dining experience for future guests. Kind regards, Amsterdam Dinner Canal Cruise Team

    Sunset cruise

    Beverley_H, Sep 2025
    Beautiful cruise, with the lights coming on and a very friendly crew. Average food but it is more about the cruise. I would recommend doing it without the food.

    A must do when in Amsterdam

    Lovely dinner and beautiful lights of Amsterdam. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch.

    More about dinner than a tour.

    Pierre_N, Sep 2025
    We enjoyed our cruise, the dinner was good, the staff were excellent. I would have liked more information on sights and areas but it was loud so I understand why it’s minimal.

    Debra_S, Aug 2025
    The dinner cruise was an amazing experience, but the food options were somewhat limited. I would have enjoyed it even more with a greater variety of dishes.

    Exceeding Our Expectations!

    Dee_M, Aug 2025
    A wonderful experience. The ship was impeccably clean. The tables were set for fine dining. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many of the attractions. The wait staff was friendly and made sure your glass never went empty. IMy husband and I had a Chardonnay- a fine quality. One of the best food I have ever had. The chef, Manual is a culinary genius. Our 4 course meal started with an appetizer, hard to describe, but wonderful. The second course was a split pea soup that was creamy and seasoned to perfection. The third course was a filet mignon in a wine sauce. It actually melted in your mouth. The dessert was a tiramisu- the best I have ever had. I have done many dinner cruises around the world and I must say this was not just a dinner cruises but a memorable occasion. Thank you.

    Good meal, including beer, wine, soft drinks. Trip wad a bit more than 2 hours

    James_R, Aug 2025
    Getting the trip ready at the dock was a bit confusing. But when our boat was ready the trip went great

    Very dissapointing

    The canal cruise was such a great experience for us we got to learn about all the history all around. The food was actually really good.

    A great way to see the city is from the canals

    Karen_T, Jul 2025
    Lovely experience. Great food and wine with 3 menus to choose from. Good history and facts. Beautiful waterways.Excellent music 😁

    Food was good and plenty...

    Paul_H, Jul 2025
    Food was good and plenty of drinks supplied, the service from the waitresses was excellent. We were a bit disappointed that there was a lack of commentary provided during the course of the journey along the canals, a more in-depth commentary would have scored 5⭐.

    Table of Three

    Rebecca_S, Jul 2025
    The ride & information was great. The tables are fixed & are tight for larger persons. If they were sold out and sat 6 at our table it would not have been a good experience. The food tasted good. The portions were fair, temperature could be hotter. Staff was friendly.

    Excellent dinner cruise experience

    Ferruccio_D, Jun 2025
    Excellent crew, excellent canal tour & excellent dinner. Totally worthwhile way to explore Amsterdam whilst having a great meal with free flowing alcohol.
