Eco Boats Amsterdam

Cruise the canals, Spritz in hand

When the summer weather arrives in Amsterdam, everything just looks and feels that much better. Enjoy the beautiful sights of Amsterdam, all the while having a spritz in hand. Step aboard our new, quiet, and 100% electric boats and enjoy a freshly made, chilled spritz and cruise through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canal belt.

Boarding location

This Amsterdam Spritz Cruise departs from Stationsplein 18, only steps away from the main entrance of Amsterdam Central Station. The cruise lasts approximately 1-hour and takes you through Amsterdam’s central canals before returning back to the departure point.

Ticket prices

  • Adults (18+) – No drinks: €21.50
  • Adults (18+) – 2 spritz each: €35.00

VAT and tourist tax (€2.70) included. Service charges excluded.

Capacity

Our new canal cruise boats have a maximum capacity of 30 guests per cruise. Every seat has a perfect canal side view.

What to expect

With the departure point only steps away from the entrance to Amsterdam Central Station, there’s no easier cruise to board in the city. Once aboard, settle into your comfortable canal-side seating with beautiful canal views in every direction. Your local skipper will bring the city to life with background history that only the locals will know. While you’re busy finding out about the interesting facts Amsterdam has to offer, the onboard host gets to work preparing your spritzes.

Along the way you will pass by iconic Amsterdam highlights such as the world-famous Skinny Bridge and the Dancing Houses, but you will also be surprised to find yourself exploring quieter canals that are a complete contrast to the bustle of the main waterways. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, our host can provide non-alcoholic options for you.

Route

The exact route can vary slightly on the day, but you will always cruise through Amsterdam’s UNESCO canal belt and past some of the city’s most recognisable sights.

Here are some famous highlights you can see:

  • National Maritime Museum
  • Rembrandt House
  • Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge)
  • Dancing houses
  • Amstel river
