Amsterdam Light Festival: Saloon Boat Cruise + Hot Drinks & Bite

About

Experience Amsterdam’s canals in a whole new light as you explore the 14th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival. This year, the theme Legacy invites international artists to reflect on what we value today and what we leave behind for future generations. Throughout this 75-minute cruise, you’ll encounter more than 20 striking light artworks that turn Amsterdam into an open-air gallery. Get comfortable aboard a classic saloon boat, offering warmth and wide, unobstructed views of the illuminated canals. Drinks such as wine, mulled wine, beer, soft drinks, and hot chocolate are available on board. If you choose the unlimited drinks option, you’ll enjoy all of these beverages without limits, along with your choice of a fresh stroopwafel or a portion of salted snacks to complete the experience. Step aboard, unwind in the cozy atmosphere of the saloon boat, and immerse yourself in an evening filled with light, art, and the stories that connect Amsterdam’s past and present.
