Overview

An Amsterdam canal cruise is a must for any visitor to Amsterdam, but the caliber of the experience varies widely. Elevate your trip on this intimate dinner cruise in a classic saloon boat that’s all window tables. Enjoy a welcome glass of bubbles (alcohol-free option available), a range of small bites, then a 3-course menu, served hot from partner restaurant Le Hollandais. Additional drinks are available to purchase on board.
  • A small group size ensures an intimate experience you won’t find on bigger boats
  • Savor gourmet cuisine and sights like the Skinny Bridge and Dancing Houses
  • See Amsterdam in depth on a longer route than most canal cruises
  • Elegant settings and restaurant cuisine make this ideal for celebrations

If the cruise picked me up I might have had a fun time.

The Canal Dinner Cruise did not show up at the meeting point that was advertised. Unfortunately I can’t rate this trip because I wasn’t picked up.

Great food on a relaxing canal cruise

Phillip_W, Jul 2026
The boats are just the right size - not too small not too large for a relaxing experience. The food is prepared by a restaurant and the cruise stops to get the food. In our case, the food was prepared by the owner of the restaurant and was excellent, far surpassing our expectations.

Justin_D, Jul 2026
It was amazing thru and thru on time and professional knew about the area enough to help guide us new people to the area

Cruise was excellent - shame about the admin

Adrian_W, Jul 2026
The dinner cruise was excellent, the food was superb, the service from Kirsten was first class and the skipper gave enough commentary to point out the highlights but not in an intrusive way. Unfortunately, because we booked late our booking was not transferred from Viator to the company to the boat so we were not on the guest list. There was then a tense wait while it was sorted and we were left standing on the quayside while the other guests were drinking complementary sparkling wine inside, despite there being a vacant table and no other guests had arrived. In the end it was all sorted but we were left disappointed with either Viator or the company (never got a credible explanation) but we were certainly not disappointed with the actual event.

10 out of 10 from me

Elizabeth_L, Jul 2026
A bit of confusion about meeting point started our trip off a bit shakily, but cruise captain soon picked us up and all was 5* after that. Very lovely from tablecloths to service and 3 course gourmet food . Food was picked up efficiently from a restaurant along the way, once for main course and once for dessert. Classy trip. Would highly recommend for a couple.

Patricia_P, Jun 2026
Great way to see the harbor and the canals of Amsterdam. Boat staff was very friendly. Drinks are expensive. You have to buy a large bottle of water—very pricey. One small glass of Coke was 4.50. Wish they would skip “free” welcome drink which is non -alcoholic or alcoholic bubbly. No other option on the free drink. Salad was delicious. We had the beef entree selection. Meat had lots of grizzle and was hard to chew. Potatoes and vegetables were tasty. A nice way to spend an evening on the water.

Not much information...

An evening on the canals

Joan_D, May 2026
A very enjoyable evening touring the canals Food was absolutely delicious. Evening was very good value when you consider we got a top notch 3 course dinner and 2 hours sailing around the canal network

Don’t expect a sightseeing tour….but see the sights

Lisa_M, May 2026
A relaxing enjoyable time with delicious food. Enjoy the sights but don’t expect a narrated tour. This is not the experience for that. Enjoy your people and the moment. A beautiful ride!

Very enjoyable evening. High quality experience with very professional team. Meal was very good. Unfortunately my entrecôte steak although well prepared was very fatty. A little more informative commentary would have been welcome

Best Experience!
