Amsterdam Light Festival: Cruise Unlimited Drinks & Bite option
Description
Cruise with us through the canals of Amsterdam and discover the impressive light art of the 14th Amsterdam Light Festival. This edition, themed Legacy, brings together artists from around the world to explore what we cherish today and what we pass on to the next generations. Over the course of 75 minutes, more than 20 artworks will illuminate the city, turning Amsterdam into a vibrant open-air art festival. Enjoy the view from a comfortable, luxury (covered) boat that offers wide-open perspectives of the 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. Come aboard, enjoy the atmosphere from the open water, and take part in an inspiring journey of light, art, and stories that bring people together.

ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo was the first zoo to be established in the Netherlands, and it’s located right in the centre of Amsterdam. It’s a place where nature and cultural heritage come together; a place where history has been created since 1838 and where new stories are created daily. Come experience them for yourself.
he Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.

The trip didn’t take place as it finished in February. So I turned up to take the trip that didn’t exist
Great nighttime tour - Amsterdam has themed artistic light displays along the canals - tour guides on the boat were awesome describing the displays and possible interpretations. We had previously done a daytime cabal cruise , glad we decided to do this one as well.
Long wait in line, cold and windy along with rain, and definitely not a luxury boat as the plastic windows were rolled up for the entire ride. The guides were nice and warm mulled wine was mostly for keeping our hands warm, The snacks were pretzels and crackers in a small plastic container.
Dear Evelyn, Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent cruise with us did not meet your expectations. While we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guides and the mulled wine, we regret that the long wait in the cold and the boat itself detracted from your overall experience. We understand how disappointing this must have been for you. Please know that we take your comments seriously and will address these issues internally to prevent similar issues in the future. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the shortcomings during your cruise. If there is anything else you wish to discuss or bring to our attention, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We hope to have the chance to welcome you on board again with us for a much-improved experience. Warm regards, Jessie Front Office Management

Went to Amsterdam with my Girfriend for a few days. Spontanious we booked a Trip with "Flagship" and got the best Team: Tijmen and Claire.
Hi there, It’s so lovely to read that you enjoyed yourself on board with us, on this Amsterdam boat trip. Thank you for choosing Flagship; we’re very grateful to have had you on our canal cruise. We wish you a beautiful day! Kind regards, Gabriela - Head Operations Customer Care, Booot
Excellent, great comfort, bar on board, great view (no windows), easy booking online, nice and dynamic personal ...
You simply have to do a canal cruise if you go to Amsterdam! We did the one where the cheese and drinks are included, which was great if you drink a lot. But it was a covered boat with plastic windows, so after it was done, I wish we'd done the uncovered boat tour. The windows got in the way of taking great photos, and I think there's something wonderful about having the wind blowing through your hair on a boat. The day we went was overcast and cloudy so maybe it wouldn't have been an option anyway. The tour guide, Captain Lo, was awesome! The location was really easy to find and you can't miss them - they wear bright orange tops. The cheese and wine was good, and the mustard was amazing! I should've asked what it was! There are blankets for your use in case you get cold, and the seats were comfortable. If I had to do it again, I'd book with Flagship again but the less expensive tour. Totally recommend!
Ahoy! Thank you for your review; we’re happy to know that you enjoyed our Amsterdam Canal Cruise! Thank you for your feedback. We’d love to see you back on our boat trip in the future and provide you with an improved and even better time! We wish you an amazing day!
