Sunrise Canal Cruises
Limited to 8 Guests

Our Amsterdam sunrise cruises depart at the earliest at 07:00 AM, and you can choose your preferred departure time when booking. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your preferences while ensuring you experience the beautiful morning light on Amsterdam's canals. The exact timing can be discussed and confirmed when you make your reservation.

Your sunrise cruise includes freshly baked French pastries, mimosa's and champagne (on request) and premium coffee or tea. We also provide warm blankets for comfort during cooler mornings, and our knowledgeable local guide shares fascinating stories about Amsterdam's history and architecture throughout the 90-minute journey.

Our signature sunrise canal cruise lasts approximately 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the peaceful morning atmosphere, savor your pastries, and capture stunning photos of Amsterdam's historic canals and architecture bathed in golden sunrise light. We also offer extended 2-3 hour cruises for those wanting a more leisurely experience.

We recommend dressing in layers as Amsterdam mornings can be cool, especially on the water. Bring a warm jacket, comfortable shoes with good grip, and consider a hat or scarf. Our lounge is heated and we provide cozy blankets on board, but comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing will ensure you enjoy the full experience. Don't forget your camera for those magical sunrise moments!

Our intimate sunrise cruises accommodate a maximum of 12 guests, though we recommend 8 people for the optimal experience. This small group size ensures a personal, uncrowded experience and allows for better interaction with your guide, guaranteed seating with optimal views, and a more exclusive atmosphere as you watch Amsterdam wake up from its historic canals.

Amsterdam sunrise cruises are magical year-round, each season offering unique charm. Spring (March-May) features blooming flowers along the canals, summer (June-August) provides the warmest weather and earliest sunrises, autumn (September-November) offers beautiful fall colors, and winter (December-February) creates a cozy, intimate atmosphere with dramatic lighting.
