Dinner Cruise in Amsterdam: What to Expect
Combining a cruise with dinner is one of the finest ways to experience Amsterdam. At Floating Amsterdam there are two ways to do it: tailored bite-size dishes on board while you cruise the canals, or a cruise that drops you at a restaurant of your choice.
Below you will find how a dinner cruise works, what you get and how to choose the right format.
What is a dinner cruise with Floating Amsterdam?
A dinner cruise is a tailor-made experience: we shape the whole outing around your group. You cruise the canals in a luxury, silent electric boat, with a captain who steers and a host who looks after you. The boat is covered, so you cruise comfortably all year round.
You choose how you dine: tailored bite-size dishes on board while you cruise, or a cruise that drops you at a restaurant.
Two ways to dine
Bite-size dishes on board, tailored. While you cruise, you enjoy dishes we put together entirely to your wishes. From bitterballen to oysters, sushi or caviar: because we tailor the experience, almost anything is possible. Pair it with an Open Bar for soft drinks, beer and wine.
A cruise with a drop-off at a restaurant. Want a full meal at a restaurant? We cruise you there and drop you off, so you combine the canals with dinner ashore.

Who is a dinner cruise for?
A dinner cruise suits almost any occasion: a romantic evening for two, a birthday, a family celebration or a company outing. Because you sail as a private group, you set the mood on board yourself.
Celebrating something special? Let us know in advance and we will take it into account.
The best time to sail
The canals are beautiful at any time of day, but a dinner cruise often coincides with dusk. The lights along the canals come on, the bridges light up and the city takes on a warm glow. For many guests that is the highlight of the evening.
