Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise - Central Station

Embark on a unique winter canal cruise experience Amsterdam in a whole another light. Sit back and relax on the water while immersing yourself in the Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam's annual spectacular light show. Witness the collection of approximately 25 stunning artworks as you cruise along the official festival route during this 75 minute tour.
Begin your adventure with LOVERS Canal Cruises, an official partner, located right in the heart of the spectacle. This cruise takes you along the entire route of the festival, so you don't have to miss any of the artworks or figure out the route yourself. Our comfortable modern boats are heated to a comfortable temperature, and with big windows all around for perfect views.
Each year, Amsterdam lights up with an exhibition during the dark, wintery months. The city transforms the canals into a unique and beautiful landscape, full of art that illuminates the city. This year, the theme of the light artworks is Legacy.
Immerse yourself in the light art pieces that make you ponder questions such as how do we want to be remembered?, how do we see the future? and what do we want to pass on to future generations?
While wondering about these questions, don't forget to take photos as you see the lights dance on the water of the canals! Take marvelling photos of all the art pieces, floating in or hanging above the canals and casting reflections onto the centuries-old buildings.
Watch how the heart of Amsterdam lights up in a whole different way, whilst also learning about the artworks.
As you relax and indulge in the spectacle, you'll be provided with an audio guide, available in Dutch and English. This guide offers in-depth insights into the displayed art and the creators behind these exquisite marvels.

Meet your captain, who will take you on this journey through the canals of Amsterdam, at the Lovers dockside near Amsterdam Central Station. You'll find the dockside by exiting central station and looking to your right for the Lovers Cafe, recognisable by its orange logo. At the FINAL of the tour, you'll be dropped off back at the same dockside.
