Evening canal cruise Amsterdam

A cruise through Amsterdam in the evening is a completely different experience. The shops are closed, markets are being phased out and there is a serene atmosphere in the city. You can hear the water sloshing against the boat as the sky changes color. This is beautiful to see from a boat. Have a snack and a drink to make your experience complete.

On the boat in the evening

In the evening you can enjoy all the beauty that the canals in Amsterdam have to offer. Whether you choose a regular or a private tour, you will feel relaxed on our
luxurious open boat.

Amsterdam canals

Our canals all have something unique. You will be guided on our tour boat through the old parts of the city. The captain can tell you all the details about Amsterdam. He knows what happens during the day, but even at night our capital has its secrets. Feel free to ask. After this experience you’ll have something special to tell others about the Amsterdam canals at a party!

Regular cruise

If the weather is really nice, we will also have our regular tours through the Amsterdam canals in the evening. Keep an eye on our website, because you can simply book your tickets online on these days. The standard departure locations and times can be viewed here.

Private boat tour

Do you want to take a tour with your own group on our boat? You can! Book a private tour and enjoy the many possibilities we have to offer. Great idea for a family party, a bachelor party, or a company outing..

Company outing in the evening

Who says a company outing should take place during the day? It is great fun to offer your business relations something different. An evening cruise after a hard day’s work is a relaxing activity for everyone. Your foreign business connections can see what Amsterdam looks like at night and the captain can tell them all the ins and outs of the city and the canals in English.

Food and drinks

If you are floating in the evening, we have many options to choose from when it comes to food and drinks. If you can’t decide what arrangement you’d like, we will be happy to help you out.

Drinks on the tour boat

A canal cruise without a drink is possible, but a bit boring. Don’t you worry. You can enjoy a soft drink in the evening and you can also opt for alcoholic drinks. You could have a gin tonic tour or a cocktail cruise. The designated driver will not be forgotten. Of course we also have something to drink for him or her.

Cocktail workshop

How nice would it be to learn to make a cocktail with your group? And even more fun: you can drink it yourselves afterwards! Under the guidance of an expert, you choose a number of cocktails in advance, which you then make during your evening cruise. Awesome idea for a bachelor party or a company outing!

Eat during the canal cruise

If you float with us in the evening, we can arrange some great food. We work together with the best restaurants in Amsterdam and can therefore offer you a delicious meal. A pizza, Thai food, an extensive buffet or a barbecue? These are just a few examples of what we can offer you. Maybe you have already had your dinner and you just want some real Dutch bitterballen, Thai snacks or just some nuts … we will take care of that. Ask us about the possibilities.

Dietary requirements

Everyone has a different taste and that is why we also offer various types of meals. This can be vegetarian or vegan or you may have other dietary requirements. Having a private tour with Floating Amsterdam in the evening and you have specific wishes? Please let us know in time. We will ensure you that you lack nothing.

Events in the evening

There are several events in Amsterdam that you can experience in the evening. However, you can also choose an active event yourself, such as our spectacular Escape Game.

Escape Game

Of course, you don’t just have to sit on a boat. Playing an Escape Game is also possible. You compete with two teams and walk through Amsterdam in the evening, while you complete assignments. The game starts and/or ends on the boat. For more information, please contact us.

Je hoeft natuurlijk niet alleen maar op een rondvaartboot te zitten. Een escape game behoort ook tot de mogelijkheden. Je strijdt met twee teams tegen elkaar en wandelt in de avond door Amsterdam, terwijl je opdrachten vervult. De game begint en/of eindigt op de boot. Neem voor meer informatie contact met ons op.

Events

There are Amsterdam events that take place in the evening. Think of the Amsterdam Light Festival or King’s Night. Contact us so we can provide you with information about these events.

Restaurant tour

If you want to take a canal cruise in the evening, but you don’t want to eat on the boat, we can offer a restaurant tour. You will float to one or more restaurants, where you will have your dinner. We can also pick you up from a restaurant after dinner.

Restaurants of Ron Blaauw

For example, we have Rons Rondje, where you float through the canals to the restaurants of Dutch famous top chef Ron Blaauw. At each restaurant you eat a course, and after that the boat will take you to the next restaurant.

Practical information

Do you have something specific in mind? Let us know so together we can look at what’s possible.

Oh dear … it’s raining

The boat can be covered in case of rain. Convertible roof tops specially developed for us ensure a dry evening cruise. Amsterdam remains beautiful and something you have to see … even with rain.

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 ✨🚤

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! ✨
