Itinerary

  1. Red Light District

    Passing by

    We sail through the oldest part of Amsterdam. More than just red lights, this area is filled with narrow alleyways, leaning houses, and centuries of fascinating stories. It’s the city's most talked-about neighborhood – and we’ll show you why.

  2. Oude Kerk

    Passing by

    Dating back to 1306, this is Amsterdam’s oldest building. Standing tall in the heart of the Red Light District, the church is a surprising island of silence and beauty amid the city's busiest area.

  3. Stop 3

    Passing by

    Glide past a life-sized replica of a Dutch East India Company ship. Discover where Amsterdam’s maritime power began, and how it shaped the world – and the city itself.

  4. NEMO Science Museum

    Passing by

    This futuristic, ship-shaped building rises out of the water and sparks curiosity in every visitor. And yes – the rooftop truly offers one of the best views of the city skyline.

  5. Joods Museum

    Passing by

    A district rich in cultural heritage and emotional depth. Here, historic synagogues, museums, and monuments tell powerful stories of resilience, remembrance, and community.

  6. Hortus Botanicus

    Passing by

    A hidden green paradise in the heart of Amsterdam. With plants that date back to the 17th century and rare species from around the world, it’s a serene view from the canal.

  7. Herengracht

    Passing by

    The most prestigious part of the Herengracht, lined with grand 17th-century mansions. These were once home to the wealthiest merchants of the Dutch Golden Age – and they still impress today.

  8. Stop 8

    Passing by

    A magical view awaits: seven perfectly aligned arch bridges, creating one of Amsterdam’s most iconic and romantic sights. Don’t forget your camera!

  9. Skinny Bridge

    Passing by

    A charming white wooden drawbridge that lights up beautifully at night. According to legend, a kiss under this bridge guarantees everlasting love.

  10. Damrak

    Passing by

    These famously crooked canal houses seem to lean and sway like dancers. Built on wooden poles over the swampy ground, they’re a symbol of Amsterdam’s quirky charm.

  11. Old Center

    Passing by

    As we glide by the remnants of the old city wall, you’ll see hidden towers and canals that once protected Amsterdam. A glimpse into the city’s medieval past.
