Official Spritz Cruise Amsterdam
Open Boat Canal Cruise Amsterdam
Feel the sun, the breeze and the beauty of Amsterdam from an open boat. The official spritz cruise with drinks, bites and panoramic canal views.
The open boat experience
An open boat canal cruise in Amsterdam is the ultimate way to experience the city’s waterways. Unlike closed glass-top boats where you sit inside and watch the canals through a window, an open boat puts you right in the middle of the action. Feel the summer breeze on your face, hear the sounds of the city around you, and enjoy completely unobstructed views of Amsterdam’s most iconic canal houses, bridges and waterways.
Spritz Cruise Amsterdam takes the open boat experience to the next level. As the official spritz cruise in Amsterdam, every cruise is designed as a curated summer experience with perfectly crafted spritz drinks, authentic Italian bites and professional onboard service. The open boat is your floating terrace on the Amsterdam canals, and for 60 minutes, it is the best seat in the city.
The cruise departs from Damrak Pier 6, centrally located near Amsterdam Centraal Station. This makes it incredibly easy to reach whether you are exploring the city as a tourist or heading straight from work as a local. The departure point is well-known and clearly marked, so there is no confusion about where to go.
Every ticket includes two drinks and Italian bites. The open boat atmosphere combined with curated drinks and the views of Amsterdam’s canals creates an experience that feels genuinely special. It is not a tourist trap or a generic boat ride. It is a premium, official summer experience that locals and visitors love equally.
The open boat design also makes the cruise perfect for photos. With no glass reflections or window frames to worry about, every angle is a potential postcard moment. The golden hour cruises are particularly stunning, with the late afternoon light painting the canal houses in warm amber tones while you sip your spritz and enjoy the view.
Why choose an open boat
Closed boats have their place, but for a summer experience in Amsterdam, nothing beats an open boat. Here is why Spritz Cruise Amsterdam chose the open boat format:
Fresh air and sunshine. On a warm summer day, you want to feel the sun on your face and the breeze in your hair. An open boat delivers exactly that, turning your canal cruise into a genuine outdoor experience.
Better views. Without glass panels or window frames, you have completely unobstructed panoramic views in every direction. See the canal houses, bridges, houseboats and landmarks as they were meant to be seen.
Social atmosphere. The open design creates a more relaxed, social environment where conversation flows naturally. It feels like being on a terrace with friends, not sitting in a bus on water.
Photo quality. No reflections, no barriers, just crystal-clear photos of Amsterdam’s most beautiful scenery. Your photos look better, your memories look better, and your social media looks better.
