Amsterdam Light Festival 2023 - 2024 Semi-Open Boat Cruise

Each winter, Amsterdam becomes a beautiful open-air museum filled with light art during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Modern artists from all over the world make spectacular light artworks that can be found in the city centre of Amsterdam. Each year the festival has a different theme, making each year a unique event.

The 12th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival has the theme LOADING... Revealing Art, AI and Tech. The use of both has grown and continues to grow exponentially, and so does their impact on how we communicate, socialise and create. The brand new art works of this year's festival shine a light on different perspectives on the theme, board the semi-open canal boat to see them best.

The best way to enjoy the festival is with a Amsterdam Light Festival cruise. This Amsterdam Light Festival Semi-Open Boat tour will give you the best view of the beautiful light sculptures as you cruise through the canals of Amsterdam.

When the stars are out, your view will be unobstructed so you can make the most beautiful photos of the twenty or so light artworks on display. You will also be provided with blankets, to keep away the winter chill. If the winter weather turns wet, the boat is easily closed with a glass-top or a regular canal boat is used. Either way, with a canal cruise you are certain to have the best seats to take in the festival.

This cruise departs opposite the art'otel Amsterdam, in front of Amsterdam Central Station. From here, the LOVERS Canal Cruises Semi-Open Boat will take you on a 60 minute cruise along the Amsterdam Light Festival water route, which allows you to see all the art of the festival.

Along the way, the audio guide, in Dutch & English, tells you more about the beautiful light installations you pass by. The coldest and darkest months of the year will be a lot lighter and cosier with Amsterdam Light Festival semi-open boat tickets.
