About
Cruise through Amsterdam's canals like a local
Sail along with Lovely Cruises' luxury open boat cruise and discover all the beauty Amsterdam has to offer. During a one-hour cruise, you will sail past places that Amsterdam is famous for, like the Red Light District, the Anne Frank House, the Jordaan neighbourhood, the Westertoren, the Amstel river, the Skinny Bridge, and many other sights. And while you sail from one hotspot to another, you will witness Amsterdam's daily life passing by.
Discover the wide and narrow canals
Many people say you haven't really been to Amsterdam until you've taken a canal cruise, and we couldn't agree more! The rippling water, the smaller and larger boats along the canals, the old bicycles parked on the bridges, the centuries-old canal houses and the many people walking along the quay all create a romantic atmosphere. An atmosphere you’d want to capture with your camera, but above all, you want to see with your own eyes. Lovely Cruises offers just that experience. Because the boats are smaller, they can sail through canals that regular canal boats cannot reach. This allows you to get to know Amsterdam in a unique and intimate way. The skipper will take you along the wide and narrow canals of Amsterdam, while the experienced guide tells all kinds of interesting stories about the city.
Choose your ideal departure point
The boat always starts and ends at the same point, which can be at two different boarding locations. The main boarding point is right next to Central Station. Thanks to its convenient location, you can easily access the boat from all forms of public transport. It is the ideal place to start your canal cruise and discover the sights of the city.
Another option is the departure point in the Jordaan neighbourhood, right across the iconic Anne Frank House, and next to the famous Westerkerk, so that after visiting these sights, you can hop aboard Lovely's luxurious open boat cruise!
Small, quiet and sustainable boats
The boat can accommodate a total of 30 people, which makes sailing a lot more intimate than a regular tour boat. Lovely's boats are fully electric, environmentally friendly and sustainable. While sailing, you can hardly hear the boat, which makes for a very relaxing experience. If it gets a little chilly, there are blankets on the boat to keep you warm. The boats are also equipped with umbrellas, and in case of rain, a tarp roof can be placed over the boat.
There is a bar on board, so treat yourself to a delicious drink during the cruise. You can choose from two options: a ticket for the cruise, including drinks or without. With a ticket that includes drinks, you can order unlimited drinks. If you have a ticket without drinks but are still thirsty, you can order individual drinks on board.
