Blue Boat Canal Cruises

Blue Boat Company is your partner for all types of city cruises! On our luxurious boats we take you on a tour of our beautiful city. The seventeenth-century canal ring area of Amsterdam as new addition to the UNESCO's World Heritage list holds no secrets to us, and we love to share all its beauty with you. And we think our 75 minute City Canal Cruise showing all the hightlight is simply the best the way to do that! 

Then again, you will also love our romantic Evening Cruise, on which you can enjoy the city by night and see it transformed into a fairytale like spectacle of lights. And last but not least, our Blue Boat Dinner Cruise with its great food, prepared by award winning chefs, accompanied by selected wines is also a great way to explore the city!

Language guarantee in 17 languages!

With our Personal Audio System you can not only choose your story, but also the language! This makes Blue Boat Company the only Canal Cruise that can give a language guarantee!*

The "Experience Amsterdam with Ron & Nel" tour is available in 8 languages (Dutch, Englisch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian & Chinese) and the classical story even in another 9 languages! (Polish, Japanese, Czech, Thai, Indonesian, Korean, Swedish, Finish & Croatian).

Boats with open roof, outer deck & wheelchair acces 

Blue Boat Company sails 365 days a year, rain or shine. In winter we close the roof and turn on the central heating, and in summer we open the roofs to let the sun & a fresh breeze in, so it is always comfortable on board. We are also the only canal cruise company with wheelchair accessible boats!

Personal Audio System 

Our boats are equipped with an extensive Personal Audio System that lets you select your choice of commentary during our daytime cruises, so wether you listen to the "Experience Amsterdam with Ron & Nel" tour or the classic story, the choice is up to you. You can even switch as many times as you like. And of course we provide you with your own set of headphones, which are yours to keep after the cruise is finished. That is what we call Pleasure in Quality.

On the Evening Cruise, we have a live guide.

Floating Dinner Experience

Our Blue Boat Dinner Cruise isn't just a meal served on a boat. It combines the experience of a night time cruise through Amsterdam with the gourmet experience of a 4 course A LA CARTE meal prepared by our awared chefs, accompanied by specially selected wines. This floating dinner experience will be the highlight of your visit to Amsterdam!
