Cruises for School Groups

Blue Boat Company is partner for all types of city cruises! On our luxurious boats we take you on a tour of our beautiful city. This new addition to UNESCO's World Heritage list has no secrets for us, and we love to share all its beauty with you. And we think our 75 minute City Canal Cruise showing all the highlight is simply the best the way to do that! And because we think it is of great importance to give young people the oppurtunity to learn all about it's history, we have a special rate for schools and other groups with educational purposes. Please contact our reservations department on reservations@blueboat.nl or 0031-(0)206791370 for more information and to see if you are eligible for these rates!

Private boat

Are you with a large group? Then it might be worth renting a private boat. This might be cheaper then a regular cruise, plus it will give you the added bonus of deciding on your own route, departure time and -if desired- even your own departure location! For more information, go to our private boatrental page or contact our reservations department, they are happy to answer all your questions. You can reach them on weekdays from 9 AM till 5 PM by phone 0031-(0)206791370 or by e-mail reservations@blueboat.nl.

Unique story

At Blue Boat Company, you will be accompanied on your cruise through "Mokum" (as the locals like to call Amsterdam) by two very local guides: Ron & Nel. Married for over 40 years and living in Amsterdam for even longer, they are eager to share their love of the city with you! On their audio commentary filled with historical facts & stories, urban legends, humor & music, they take you back to the early days of theport of Amsterdam, as well as into the now of this vibrant city!

Personal Audio System

Our boats are equipped with an extensive Personal Audio System that lets you select your choice of commentary, so whether 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, wich are yours to keep after the cruise is finished. That is what we call Pleasure in Quality.
