Overview

Step aboard and discover the true charm of Amsterdam from the water. Glide past iconic sights like the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, and the Skinny Bridge, while also exploring quieter canals where everyday life unfolds. Watch locals enjoying coffee in the sun, cyclists rushing by, and couples capturing special moments—these authentic scenes make the city unforgettable. Enjoy a comfortable and intimate cruise with Lovely Cruises’ sustainable, small, open electric boats, offering a quiet and environmentally friendly way to explore the canals. Because our Lovely boats are smaller, they can navigate canals that larger canal boats cannot reach, offering a more intimate way to experience Amsterdam. The boats are also equipped with blankets, umbrellas, and a covered option for bad weather. There’s even a bar on board for a refreshing drink. Sit back, relax, and as you cruise through both the wide and narrow canals, listen to the guide for fascinating stories about the city.

1. Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House is a historic canal-side building where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. Now a museum, it preserves the secret annex and tells the powerful story of her life and diary. As we pass by, you’ll see one of Amsterdam’s most important and moving landmarks from the water.

The Skinny Bridge, known locally as the Magere Brug, is a charming wooden drawbridge spanning the Amstel River in Amsterdam. Famous for its elegant design and nightly illumination, it’s one of the city’s most photographed landmarks. As we sail underneath, you’ll get a perfect view of this historic bridge and its classic Dutch architecture from the water.
3. Red Light District (De Wallen)
The Red Light District in Amsterdam is a historic neighborhood known for its narrow streets, canals, and distinctive nightlife. It is famous for its legalized sex work, visible behind illuminated windows, as well as its mix of bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. Despite its reputation, it’s also one of the city’s oldest areas, with notable architecture and a unique atmosphere that blends history with modern urban life.

6. NEMO Science Museum
The NEMO Science Museum is a striking, ship-shaped building rising above the water. This interactive museum is all about science and technology, especially popular with families and curious minds. As we sail past, you’ll notice its unique design that looks like the bow of a giant green ship.
7. Bloemenmarkt
The Bloemenmarkt is the world’s only floating flower market, located along one of the city’s canals. Here you’ll find colorful displays of flowers, bulbs, and Dutch souvenirs. As we pass by, you’re seeing a unique and fragrant piece of Amsterdam’s local culture.
