What dining on an Amsterdam canal cruise really looks like
A dinner cruise in Amsterdam is rarely a formal sit-down meal. Most boats serve food and drink while you sail, and that is what you can book here: 7 private cruises and 4 shared cruises, from a pizza or barbecue boat for a group to a Dutch cheese tasting for two.
Private food boats for 2 to 30 guests
The pizza, BBQ and tapas boats are private charters: you hire the whole boat with a skipper, and the price is per person, so it scales with your group. The pizza boat serves one pizza each from a choice of five. The barbecue boat comes with meat, vegetarian options and sides, and the tapas boat serves a varied selection. All three include an open bar of beer, wine and soft drinks.
The wine tasting adds a sommelier and six wines. Food is not part of it, but a cheese platter can be added as an extra.
Shared cheese cruises
For a couple or a small group, the shared Dutch cheese cruises are the easy choice: about an hour on the water with cheese and drinks, booked per person.
