Amsterdam Canal Cruises

Amsterdam and canal cruises go together like summer and sunshine. When you visit the city, exploring the canals by boat is a must do for any visitor. As one of the oldest canal cruise companies in the city, LOVERS Canal Cruises is one of the best in the business.

Originally we were a small family business, which gave the company its name. We don’t mind that some pronounce our name wrong (it’s pronounced like ‘loafers’), but are happy to bring more love into the world. Today we are a professional business, with the biggest fleet in the city.

What type of canal cruises can you go on in Amsterdam?

There are lots of different types of boat tours you can enjoy in the city. The best known are the big boats, which fit up to 90 guests and typically offer tours that last around 1 hour. But there are plenty of other types of canal cruises.

For instance, there are different types of dinner cruises. From full 4-course dinners to the more casual pizza cruises. And from wine and cheese tastings to the child friendly pancake cruises.

And then there are the special occasion boat tours during events in the city. Such as the Amsterdam Light Festival, which brings brightness to the dark and short winter days. But also for events such as SAIL Amsterdam, which only happens every 5 years.
