Shared Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise on Dauphine
See Amsterdam in a different light aboard Dauphine, a historic salon boat dating back to 1910. This 90-minute Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise takes you along the festival route, where light artworks transform the city's waterways after dark. With a maximum of just 12 guests, it's a small-group experience that feels relaxed and personal.
All-Inclusive Drinks and Snacks
Settle in, enjoy a drink and watch the artworks pass by. Unlimited drinks and snacks are included throughout the cruise, so there's no need to order or pay for anything extra on board. The atmosphere is informal and sociable, with enough space to enjoy the evening together, whether you're visiting as a couple, with friends or on your own. Your captain takes care of the journey while you enjoy the festival from the water.
Onboard Comfort
Dauphine is fully covered and heated, making this Amsterdam boat tour a comfortable way to enjoy the festival during the colder winter months. Large windows provide views of the art installations while keeping you sheltered from the wind and rain. There's also a toilet on board, and the quiet electric motor allows for easy conversation as you cruise through the canals.
