Amsterdam is a pet-loving city, and many of our experiences are accessible with well-behaved pets. However, availability varies by product and boat type. Rather than making blanket claims, we want to give you accurate information. Some of our open boat cruises and smaller vessels may accommodate dogs on a case-by-case basis. For the most current pet policy, we recommend contacting us directly. We can advise you on which specific departures and boats are best suited for you and your pet, and help you plan an Amsterdam day that works for everyone — four-legged family members included.
