Amsterdam Light Festival dinner cruise

A culinary light show in downtown Amsterdam

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening where culinary indulgence meets artistic lighting. Our exclusive Amsterdam Light Festival dinner cruise combines the best of both worlds: an exquisite dinner evening on the water and a spectacular cruise past all the light artworks of the festival.

While our experienced skippers navigate you along the perfect route to best admire each work of art, our culinary team pampers you with dishes that stimulate all the senses. From the Italian buffet with fresh pastas to the sophisticated French menu with Mediterranean influences – at Rederij Belle, gastronomic enjoyment takes center stage as the works of art glide past you.

The warm, attractively lit interior of our luxury salon boats is the perfect contrast to the cold winter evening outside. From your comfortable spot on board, you will not only experience the magic of the Amsterdam Light Festival, but also create lasting memories with your company. Whether you come for a romantic dinner for two, a cozy family outing or a business meeting – our dinner cruise promises an evening of wonder and culinary delights.

Food and drink while enjoying the show

Dine among art and candlelight

Enjoy a sophisticated culinary experience on our Amsterdam Light Festival dinner cruise with specially curated winter dishes that perfectly match the festive December atmosphere. Our chefs prepare tasty appetizers that perfectly match the atmospheric ambiance on the water.

Our main courses range from meat to fish specialties, each carefully prepared and tastefully presented. The winter menus are carefully crafted to provide you with a flavorful culinary experience befitting the festive period of the Amsterdam Light Festival.

Finish your dinner with one of our delicious desserts that perfectly round out the meal. Combined with our selected wines, we offer a complete culinary experience that takes your Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise to the next level.

Experience the light show from the water

The ultimate experience from the Amsterdam canals

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 a hot drink and delicious food, 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.
