🎉 King’s Day on the Water: The Ultimate Party

Imagine this: the sun is shining, you’re surrounded by happy people dressed in orange, music is playing, and you’re floating through Amsterdam with a cold drink in hand.

That’s King’s Day on the canals.
It’s an experience you’ll never forget — a once-a-year event where the entire city becomes a floating festival.

From your private boat or shared cruise, you’ll see Amsterdam from a completely new perspective.
The historic buildings, the laughter, the music — it all comes together on this magical day.

🕒 How Long Is the Cruise?

Each King’s Day boat trip lasts 2 hours, which is the perfect amount of time to soak up the atmosphere without missing other parts of the celebration.

Want more? You can always add extra time or plan a private evening cruise once the sun goes down and the canals sparkle with lights.

📅 Book Early – Spots Sell Out Fast

King’s Day is Amsterdam’s busiest day of the year. Thousands of people look for boats, and the number of available licenses on the canals is limited.
That’s why we recommend booking your King’s Day cruise as early as possible.

Once you reserve your spot, you’ll receive:

• A booking confirmation

• Your departure location and time

• Instructions for arrival and check-in

Our team is always available to help you with any questions — in English, Dutch, or German.
