About This Tour

A private cruise for your group only, on a genuine historic 1912 saloon boat, with a real welcome drink. This is a private cruise for your group only, aboard a genuine historic 1912 floating-monument saloon boat. A real welcome drink is included.

The style of boat used for this cruise — an enclosed "salonboot," with upholstered seating and a glass roof — has a real lineage in Amsterdam going back to the Dutch Golden Age, when wealthy merchants used private, covered boats as their own version of a town car, commuting along the canals away from the mud and bustle of the streets. The specific vessels still operating today are typically restored boats from the early 1900s and 1930s, originally built to work Dutch and German inland waterways before being converted for passenger use and re-engined with quiet electric motors.

Their size is part of what makes them useful now: smaller and more maneuverable than the large glass-topped tour boats, a historic saloon boat can duck down narrower side canals that bigger commercial vessels simply can't fit through, reaching quieter stretches of the UNESCO-listed Grachtengordel most visitors never see.

With a welcome drink included and the whole boat reserved for your group, the 90 minutes plays out less like a scheduled tour and more like being shown the city's waterways the way a well-connected local resident might.
