Amsterdam
Amsterdam canal cruises side by side: hour-long loops, open boats, and evening sails. The canal ring has held UNESCO status since 2010, and one unhurried hour covers its best stretch. Smaller open boats slip into narrow side canals the glass-roofed fleet cannot.
Embark on an Amsterdam Classic Boat Cruise filled with live guides, drinks, and cheese, where unexpected surprises await at every turn.
