# Amsterdam Luxury Open Boat Cruise with Optional Unlimited Drinks

In our comparison: #56 of 84 in Canal Cruises, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Step aboard and discover the true charm of Amsterdam from the water. Glide past iconic sights like the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, and the Skinny Bridge, while also exploring quieter canals where everyday life unfolds. Watch locals enjoying coffee in the sun, cyclists rushing by, and couples capturing special moments—these authentic scenes make the city unforgettable.

Enjoy a comfortable and intimate cruise with Lovely Cruises’ sustainable, small, open electric boats, offering a quiet and environmentally friendly way to explore the canals. Because our Lovely boats are smaller, they can navigate canals that larger canal boats cannot reach, offering a more intimate way to experience Amsterdam. The boats are also equipped with blankets, umbrellas, and a covered option for bad weather. There’s even a bar on board for a refreshing drink.

Sit back, relax, and as you cruise through both the wide and narrow canals, listen to the guide for fascinating stories about the city.
