How last-minute booking works
Pick a time, book in a minute
Tap a departure on this page and the cruise opens with the date, the departure and your group size already selected. Seats and boats are checked live against the operator's calendar, so a time shown here is a time you can book.
How late can you book?
Each boat has its own booking cut-off. For the cruises on this page, booking closes 6 minutes to 24 hours before departure. Where a boat has no set cut-off, we stop showing a departure 15 minutes before it leaves. Anything past its cut-off is hidden.
Shared seats or a private boat?
A shared cruise sells you seats next to other guests. A private boat is yours alone for the whole trip. For 2 guests, the cheapest private boat right now works out at €147.89 per person, against €23.04 for a shared seat. Bigger party? See groups of 20 or more.
Picking a boat when it rains
Choose a boat marked Covered. 24 of today's 26 shared departures are covered. More in our guides to canal cruises in the rain and heated, covered boats.

For the cruises listed on this page, online booking closes 6 minutes to 24 hours before departure; a cruise without a set cut-off is bookable until 15 minutes before it leaves.

What if it rains?
