Overview

This is NOT a standard canal cruise. Skip the crowds: max 10 guests, local captain as your personal guide, quality drinks and Dutch bites. No big groups or scripts—just real stories, truly different.

With our unique 100% electric 100+ year old boat Giuliana that has both an inside and outside area, has a toilet and is heated in the winter, we will provide an intimate 2-hour cruise.
We will pass all the highlights that Amsterdam has to offer, including the world-famous canal belt, the river Amstel, the old city (red light district), the maritime area and places where large tour boats cannot go.
Along the way we will make a stop to pick up some traditional Dutch fried snacks and we have a cheese platter and Dutch cookies on board while you are enjoying a wide variety of (non) alcoholic drinks including a local spirit (Jenever), Cava/Prosecco and G&T.

What's Included

  • Snacks
  • Alcoholic beverages Now including Cava/Prosecco as well as Jenever (local spirit), Gin&Tonic, Wine (red, white and rose) and Heineken beer
  • Carbonated beverages Soda/Pop

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Not a Typical Cruise: Max 10, Bites, Drinks, Local, Personal?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
