From the boat you will glide along Amsterdam's UNESCO-listed Canal Ring, built during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. We sail along the three main canals — Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht — lined with narrow merchant houses showing the city's classic stepped and bell gables, ornate sandstone facades and original hoist beams still in use today. You will see the famous Seven Bridges view on the Reguliersgracht, pass beneath dozens of stone arch bridges, and float past traditional Dutch houseboats moored along the quays. Look out for the Westerkerk spire, the Anne Frank House, and grand canal mansions once owned by wealthy spice and silk merchants. Our skipper points out the best photo spots and shares stories about Amsterdam's maritime trading past, the engineering behind the canal system, and how locals live on the water today.
