Itinerary
The Amstel flows through the city of Amsterdam and ultimately into the city's canal system and the IJ waterfront. The city of Amsterdam takes its name from a dam ("dam") built on the Amstel in the 13th century—hence "Amstel-dam." Cruise the Amstel while enjoying a 3-course dinner.
One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.
Cruise past the iconic Dancing Houses near the Amstel, where the canal homes appear to lean and sway, a quirky result of Amsterdam’s wooden foundations shifting over time

Save your money, the experience is nothing like the advertising from the trip advisor site. The food was delicious and the wait staff were the only thing good about this trip. For $150 each ($450 total) I could have had the same experience at the highest rated restaurant in Amsterdam. We had to dock twice to get our 3 course meal, 1st the salad then the main course and dessert. While eating my 1st course salad I had the pleasure of watching the people sitting on the bench just outside my window watching me eat, that’s really romantic. The cruise advertising was that it was going to cruise through the canals of Amsterdam while we view some of the significant sites while cruising the canals. We cruised the same area 3-4 times.

Quiet dinner through canals. No narration provided. Would have liked to learn about history while eating.
Tour and dinner was lovely. App gave us wrong pickup location -crew made it right! Nice meal from local restaurant
I did the dinner cruise with my daughter and we both thought it was excellent. The boat itself is perfect and the staff, Frans and Jorn were extremely professional and friendly. No sharing tables, all tables are just for two people apart from a bigger table at the front which I think could seat 5 (although I sat here just with my daughter). The food was excellent. It’s picked up from a restaurant along the cruise path and was delicious. I will definitely return as my daughter is moving to Amsterdam to study so this will because a regular event.
Exceptional experience!! I would recommend to anyone looking to see different parts of Amsterdam by way of the canals. Great crew and captain made us all very comfortable. 10 out of 10.
Unusual trip. Small but unusual group. One couple with waaayyyy too much public display of affection, one extremely politically bent woman AND a couple who inconvenienced the entire group by not watching announcements and being at the incorrect meeting location. It was nice that the boat went to pick them up, but then that couple was compensated for their drinks and those of us truly inconvenienced by them received nothing. That was not appreciated. Food was excellent- it is actually picked up while underway so it was hot and delicious. I would go back to the restaurant. Captain and staff were friendly. Know ahead of time that this is NOT a sightseeing trip- there is not commentary while cruising (I tell you this so you are not disappointed and/or complaining to ruin the trip for others- again, we had a most unusual group). Also know ahead that other than your welcome drink, drinks are not included but there is beer/wine/water available for purchase. The wine was actually quite lovely. Overall it was a nice way to have a dinner and observe Amsterdam from the water.
This was so worth it! The food was delicious, the staff very nice, the others in board were interesting and it was relaxing! Thought about canceling because we were soooo tired but are so glad we didn't. Great find!
A very enjoyable evening touring the canals Food was absolutely delicious. Evening was very good value when you consider we got a top notch 3 course dinner and 2 hours sailing around the canal network
The pickup spot was convenient. The staff were pleasant. The food was excellent. Would have liked a bit more explanation of what we were seeing. For the price, I’m not sure the value for money was there as I would have expected more of a wow factor.
A relaxing enjoyable time with delicious food. Enjoy the sights but don’t expect a narrated tour. This is not the experience for that. Enjoy your people and the moment. A beautiful ride!
