The Original Amsterdam Canal Cruise - our route*

The regular, 1-hour canal cruise sails past the muntplein/munttoren, onto the Amstel and along the Stopera. It will pass under the Blauwbrug after which it will turn onto the Herengracht, take you past the official residence of the Mayor of Amsterdam and past the beautiful buildings located in the Golden Bend. At the end of the Herengracht, you will turn onto the Brouwersgracht after which you will leave the canals via the Haarlemmersluis, onto the IJ. Once you are on the IJ, you will pass the backside of Amsterdam Central Station, where you will see the Eye Film Museum on the North side. Via the IJ we will turn to the Oosterdok to show you the National Maritime Museum and NEMO.
