Along the way, your captain shares fun stories and local insights while you pass iconic sights like the Anne Frank House, the Jordaan neighborhood, and the picturesque Skinny Bridge. Sail past historic churches, grand canal houses, and quirky landmarks that bring Amsterdam’s past and present to life. With unlimited Heineken beer, wine, or soft drinks plus typical Dutch snacks included, this is an easy and fun way to experience the canals in comfort.

We went on an excellent canal cruise with Captain Jack Amsterdam. Arna, our guide did an awesome job, could answer any question, and had very good knowledge of the countries the different passengers came from especially any Dutch connections with that country - I think the Dutch infiltrated most of the world! Also, he navigated that boat through those canals with precision! The drinks and array of Dutch snacks were delicious! Lucky us; the rain kept away until later in the afternoon but there were umbrellas and blankets on board 😊 Thanks for a great welcome to Amsterdam, Captain Jack! 🙏

This is a great canal visit. Leonard was great and he tried to accomodate the various requests. There were plenty of food and drinks onboard.
