What to expect

Experience the mesmerising spectacle of the Amsterdam Light Festival from a canal cruise departing from the city centre. This 75-minute journey offers unparalleled views of light artworks, transforming the city into an open-air museum for its 13th edition. As you follow the light art route by boat, an audio guide will provide fascinating insights into the art and artists behind these creations.

The theme for the 2024-2025 festival is "Rituals", which delves into the deep connection between light and local celebrations. From fireworks to bonfires, light symbolises life, joy, and energy. This year's festival also marks Amsterdam's 750th anniversary with a dazzling display of light art inspired by the city's diverse cultural rituals.

Your canal cruise during the Amsterdam Light Festival promises to be a memorable experience. The modern, heated boats provide front row seats to this magical event. As you glide along the UNESCO World Heritage canals, you'll have the opportunity to admire the awe-inspiring light installations up close. Plug in your headphones and let the informative audio guide enhance your understanding of the art and artists that contribute to this extraordinary festival.
