Overview
Sail with us through the canals of Amsterdam and admire the impressive light art of the 15th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival. This year’s theme, Legacy, invites artists from around the world to reflect on what we preserve and what we pass on to future generations.
During this 75-minute cruise, you will encounter more than 20 light artworks that transform the city into an open-air art festival. Experience it from a comfortable, luxury (covered) boat, offering unobstructed views of the illuminated canals.
Drinks such as wine, mulled wine, beer, and soft drinks 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, take in the unique perspectives from the open water, and be part of an inspiring celebration of light, art, and the stories that connect us.
