Amsterdam was made for romance. Its candlelit bridges, golden-age canal houses, and intimate waterways create the perfect backdrop for a date night. Start your evening with a Cheese & Wine Cruise — Dutch artisan cheeses paired with fine wines as you glide past illuminated bridges. For something playful, the Aperol Spritz Cruise brings summer vibes with its orange-themed boat and Italian cocktails. The Cocktail Cruise offers handcrafted drinks in a lounge setting on the water. For a truly special evening, the Signature Boats Amsterdam Saloon Cruise takes you through historic canals in a charming vintage boat. End the night with our Evening Cruise as the city sparkles around you.
