About this activity
A luxury canal cruise in Amsterdam awaits aboard Signature Boats' intimate saloon vessel. On this 1.5-hour journey, you'll glide through Amsterdam's smaller waterways—places where larger boats can't reach—discovering the city's UNESCO-protected canal ring from the water. Your small group (up to 12 guests) travels on one of Amsterdam's oldest boats, a beautifully appointed salon space where you can relax in comfort while a knowledgeable guide shares stories about the Jordan District, Westerkerk, the Amstel River, and iconic landmarks like the Rijksmuseum.
What makes this experience different: the boutique approach. You skip the crowds with a private departure dock near Leidseplein, and the crew's personal attention makes every moment feel effortless. You'll see history come alive, hear local perspectives, and enjoy an unhurried way to experience the city.
