About us

LOVERS Canal Cruise was established in the 1950s, and has turned into the biggest and most professional provider of canal cruises in Amsterdam. We have always strived to provide the best canal cruises available, and with our years of experience, we know our way around the city. Canal cruises have of course been an essential part of any visit to Amsterdam, which we realise, and that's why we strive to be the very best. 

Our focus is to provide the classis canal cruise experience, showing the beautiful canal belt of Amsterdam in its glory. We go past all the highlights of the city, and provide audio tours to teach our visitors about these spots in 19 languages. But we also try to innovate In 2016, our entire fleet of 45 boats underwent a substantial upgrade, receiving new interiors, new audio, and of course access to heating and Wi-Fi. We are also working on making the fleet sustainable, currently 80% of our fleet is electric, and we are working on getting this to 100% in 2026.

Ready when you are

Aside from regular canal cruises, we also try to innovate, and offer a broad variety of exciting and interesting canal cruise options. Our regular boats go all day, and have different departure locations for convenient exploring. We also offer variety, from a semi-open boat to several dinner cruises, and collaborate with partners for open boat cruises, hop-on hop-off boats, and combinations with several exciting museums and attractions in Amsterdam.

Among our offers are a four course dinner, and a collaboration with New York Pizza, and our delightful cruise with wine and Dutch cheese, for tasty evenings on the water. We also offer arrangements for special events, such as SAIL Amsterdam and Amsterdam Light Festivals, for which we organise special tours through the heart of each festival. And of course, we offer group promotions and discounts, and special tours, including the option to rent out a boat. For more information, check out group activities in Amsterdam.
