Description

A delightful cruise through Amsterdam with wines and cheeses

Want to relax with a nice glass of wine after a long day in Amsterdam? Are you looking for a place for some after dinner drinks, or a place for a date that is not quite a dinner date? Do you want to have some drinks with friends before heading out on the town? Our Wine & Cheese Cruise is perfect for everyone.

Along with the picture perfect backdrop of the canals of Amsterdam, this cruise offers delicious local cheeses from Amsterdam and the surrounding villages, and seven types of wine. Sample the smooth and creamy flavour of ‘Old Amsterdam’ cheese, based on a fiercely-guarded family secret, as well as the specially selected cheeses ripened by ‘Reypenaer’, and other young and ripened cheeses. There are three white, two red and two roses wines available to enjoy with the cheeses.

Discover how cosy Amsterdam can be in the evening

Amsterdam in the day time can be incredibly busy, but in the evening everything slows down. Especially the canals offer a breath of fresh air in the evening, and enjoying them with a glass of wine in your hand and a choice of cheese at your fingertips makes the experience even better. The Wine & Cheese Cruise exemplifies the Dutch notion of ‘gezelligheid’, with a great atmosphere, great food and great people around you.

The UNESCO World Heritage listed canals sparkle in the evening darkness, with a multitude of festive lights and reflections of the city. With their 17th-century canal houses and sparkling bridges, these waterways are an exceptional place to enjoy the company of friends or family. They evoke all the magic of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of unprecedented economic, cultural, and scientific growth.

Try the Dutch cheese and wine cruise in Amsterdam for yourself

During this exceptional canal cruise in Amsterdam you will experience the Dutch capital in a way unlike any other. On our modern, heated boats, you will glide through the city under the night sky in comfort. Book your tickets in advance for our Amsterdam Wine and Cheese Cruise to make sure you don’t miss out!

Good fun to see Amsterdam by night

We booked the 8pm Wine and Cheese Cruise for €35 each through Tours and Tickets. It was interesting to see Amsterdam by night. Very pretty. We were provided a selection of cheeses to share between four of us. We could have done with more. Wine was served as per table service, and bottled watter offered as well thankfully. I wish I could have drank more wine, but as the cruise progressed, I had to revert to water! If you are visiting Amsterdam in October like us, there's no need to book a cruise before hand. There are plenty of boats available to jump on during the day. Some with drinks as well.

Good value for money

We liked this trip. Unlimited wine, a little guiding, a little entertainment, views over the canals in evening light, some interesting places were pointed out such as the Anne Frank house. There was no real "cheese tasting" though, because even if the pieces of cheese were tasty and there was a list of the sorts, it was impossible to know which cheese was which. The man working at the Lovers café from where the tour started was a little odd though, calling me "Daaarliing..." in an affected way. I did not appreciate that.

You can go on this trip solo!

Although marketed as a romantic wine and cheese trip, I decided to go on my own, and just give it a try. Turns out that the seat arrangement was quite smart, giving me my own spot at the front with the captain and first mate. Once we were off on our journey, both were happy to answer my questions and absolutely kept me company. Such a great cruise. Would recommend going even if you don't have a plus one! Give yourself a hug under the lovers bridge :)

Lovely evening wine and cheese cruise

We did the wine and cheese evening cruise - it was a great way to see the city from the canals with a very informative and funny captain (Paul). A nice cheese and fig platter with dips, bread and nuts, also unlimited wine!

A way to kick back and enjoy just relaxing

Was a relaxed, chill evening. Plenty of food and wine! A great way to view all the historic building and lights of the canal.

Esperienza molto suggestiva da non perdere

E' stata un'esperienza molto suggestiva la crociera serale per i canali di Amsterdam con le luci della città tutte illuminate. Il tour si è svolto regolarmente e lungo il percorso ci hanno servito formaggi e bevande secondo il nostro gradimento. Qualità dei formaggi molto buona, il vino discreto. Atmosfera rilassata e piacevolissima. Unica nota: avevo prenotato il tour in italiano, ma tutti parlavano solo olandese o inglese. Comunque ci siamo divertiti lo stesso.

Trevlig kväll på turbåt

Fantastiskt vacker tur genom Amsterdam med goda ostar, bröd, marmelad och generöst med vin. Trevlig musik och rent och fint.
