Amsterdam Light Festival on the water
Cruise privately past the light artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival — a warm, covered boat with blankets and mulled wine, skipper included.
Cruise privately past the light artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival — a warm, covered boat with blankets and mulled wine, skipper included.
Every winter Amsterdam turns into an open-air gallery. For edition 15, twenty light artworks line the canals of the central-east district, on a new route past the Magere Brug and the Amstelsluizen. And the very best place to see them is exactly where they were made for — on the water. In your own private boat you glide quietly among them, with no shared passengers.
Our boats are fully covered and heated with blankets on board, so you admire the light artworks in comfort even on a cold winter evening — mulled wine in hand. Also see our boats or a regular private boat tour.
