Canal cruise Amsterdam COVID-19

The COVID-19 virus has a hold on us all. That’s why we had to adjust our working method as a result.

Rondvaart Amsterdam prijs

What about COVID-19?

During the COVID-19 crisis you can still go on a luxury cruise through the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Of course there are some adjustments. For example, a maximum of 17 people can be on the boat. People from one household are allowed to sit together, but the other guests must keep a five feet distance from each other and from other people (including our staff). If you have signs of the virus, unfortunately you cannot join us. Please let us know in time to avoid disappointment.

Private canal cruise Amsterdam

A private canal cruise in Amsterdam is still possible during the COVID-19 crisis. We will pamper you as always … but from a distance. A maximum of 20 people are allowed on a private trip, but at a 5 feet distance, unless you are from the same household. Let us know in time if you have any signs of being sick, so that we can find a solution together.

Precautions on the boat

Our boats will be cleaned after every tour. This has always been the case, but during this COVID-19 period it is a good thing to mention again. Before you board, we will ask if you have any signs of a cold. You will also be requested to record your details, as prescribed by the RIVM rules. Our crew will disinfect your hands and then indicate your place on the boat. After the trip we ask you to stay seated until the captain or host(ess) says you can disembark. This is to avoid not keeping the required distance. If you always follow the instructions of our staff, it will be a pleasant, but above all safe cruise.

What is it you can do?

Arrive on time, so that we have the opportunity to arrange everyone on the boat properly. Stay at home if you have any signs of illness and if that’s the case, please let us know. Keep your distance from other guests and our crew, so that everyone can have a safe and relaxed boat tour. Do you have to cough or sneeze? Please cover your mouth with your elbow. In this way, everyone can enjoy a luxurious cruise through the canals of Amsterdam.

In short

  • max. 17 people on the boat
  • people from 1 household can sit together
  • boats are being well cleaned after each round
  • a cold, fever or short of breath? Then you cannot join us
  • arrive well on time
  • keep a 5 feet distance from our crew and others
  • follow the instructions of our staff
  • write down your details
  • before you go on board, your hands will be disinfected
  • use your elbow when you cough or sneeze
  • After the trip, remain seated until the captain has said you can leave the boat. This will all require some adjustment, but we promise you a safe, pleasant and relaxing trip. Together we experience a COVID-19 proof canal cruise!

It takes some adjustment together, but we promise you a safe, pleasant, relaxed trip. Together we make the cruise corona proof!

Just come and give it a try and experience a cruise through the Amsterdam canals to remember.

Hermoso. Aunque el vodka del coctel es muy dulce.

Gisteren zijn mijn partner en ik meegeweest met de Magical Light Tour van Floating Amsterdam, en het was werkelijk een magische ervaring. Onze schipper René, een echte Amsterdammer, maakte de tocht extra bijzonder. Met zijn humor en leuke weetjes vertelde hij op een ontspannen en interessante manier over de stad en de lichtkunstwerken. Dat gaf de tour echt een persoonlijke en gezellige sfeer. De vaart door de Amsterdamse grachten is op zichzelf al prachtig, maar in combinatie met de indrukwekkende lichtkunstwerken werd het helemaal af. Het was romantisch, sfeervol en tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Er waren warme kleedjes aanwezig en zowel warme als koude drankjes, waardoor je heerlijk comfortabel kon genieten. Wij hebben enorm genoten en gaan dit in de zomer zeker nog een keer doen. Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die Amsterdam eens op een andere, betoverende manier wil beleven ✨🚤

Joël en Hans hebben ons een onvergetelijke ervaring bezorgd. Rondvaart tijdens Amsterdam Light Festival kado gekregen van onze (schoon)dochter en mooie verhalen erbij van de mannen. Top!

Genoten van de bootvaart op 24 december tijdens lightning Amsterdam.. De schipper (René) en zijn collega hebben ons goed begeleid en van drinken voorzien.. Deze kleinschalige tocht raad ik ten zeerste AAN..

Fantastic and authentic canal experience with Floating Boats Amsterdam The Light Festival 2025 tour was amazing — very informative, relaxed, and with a great atmosphere. Small groups, a very personal vibe, and a skipper who is genuinely friendly and passionate about what he does. (I also loved the cool playlist that matched each art piece 😄) We already joined a Floating Boats tour back in 2019 and had such a great experience that it was an easy decision to come back. Highly recommended if you want a unique and authentic way to experience Amsterdam from the water — without the typical crowded tourist boat feeling. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold… so we might just have to come back again in spring! ✨
