Experience the light show from the water
Experiencing the Amsterdam Light Festival from the water offers an unparalleled experience that is fundamentally different from walking along the quay. The light artworks are specially designed for optimal viewing from the water – befitting Amsterdam’s historic canals.
On the water, you have an unobstructed view of all the installations and do not miss a single detail. The reflections on the water double the artworks in a magical spectacle that walkers cannot experience.
Instead of shivering in the winter cold, enjoy the full spectacle in absolute comfort aboard our heated salon boats. With drinks and delicious snacks, a cold winter evening is transformed into a luxurious experience.
In contrast to the busy promenades along the quay, we offer peace and quiet on board. You will enjoy an exclusive perspective in serene comfort, without crowds of tourists.
