Not every Amsterdam visit needs to be packed with sightseeing. Sometimes you just want to chill. The Aperol Spritz Cruise is pure relaxation: Italian cocktails, sunshine, and views from an iconic orange boat. The Cocktail Cruise offers a lounge atmosphere on the water with handcrafted drinks. For something more active but still relaxed, Waterfietsen lets you pedal your own boat at your own pace through quiet canals. The open boat cruises have a laid-back vibe, especially on weekday afternoons. The Luxury Open Boat adds comfort with cushioned seating and complimentary drinks. End your chill day with a Cheese & Wine Cruise or Evening Cruise as the sun sets over the canal ring.

Tips

Weekday afternoon departures are the quietest and most relaxing.

The Aperol Spritz Cruise is best on a warm day when you can fully enjoy the open-air orange boat.

Bring sunglasses and a light jacket for the open boats — it can be breezy on the water.

Combine a morning Waterfietsen session with an evening drinks cruise for the ultimate chill day.

The Luxury Open Boat has cushioned seating and complimentary drinks — maximum comfort, minimum effort.
