Itinerary

Enjoy a 75-minute cruise on the IJ river, the Amstel and along the great canals of Amsterdam From the north side of Amsterdam we sail with the super deluxe Stan Huygens 100% electric tour boat via the IJ towards the Amstel. The Stan Huygens (the former favorite ship of Freddie Heineken) is a modern ship with a very luxurious interior. The beautiful sleek design, the semi-circular luxury leather sofas, the beautiful wooden floor and full bar and kitchen give the boat a cozy atmosphere. The Stan Huygens can be illuminated in any desired color thanks to the adjustable lighting plan. Due to the 100% electric engine, it is environmentally friendly and silent. The sleek design of the windows gives you a good view out (windows can also be opened) Freddy Heineken took many (foreign) guests, pop stars and politicians with him on board. Beyoncé, Vanessa Williams and Robbie Williams have performed there and recently the ‘Imagine Dragons’ sailed along.
