Amsterdam Light Festival Private Boat – “Official Tour”
Imagine yourself with your loved one sailing on Amsterdam’s canals through the historic center onboard a private boat tour. You see the iconic canal houses and arched bridges. You hear the calming sound of the rippling water against the side of the boat and together with your loved one, you are witnessing over 20 light artworks up close.
During this winter, there is more excitement in Amsterdam’s center than you might expect. For a brief time during the winter season, the breathtaking landscape of the historic city center is transformed by over 20 light installations scattered across the canals just waiting to be discovered. Will you explore them with us?
This private canal tour on Amsterdam’s canals will give you a front-row seat to the 13th annual Light Festival. Enjoy it from the comfort of a quiet, electrically heated boat. Many of the art installations are specifically designed to be best viewed directly on the water. The theme this year is “Rituals”. Rituals have traditionally helped us through all kinds of transformations; from past to future, from winter to summer, from youth to adulthood. All artists were asked to create an artwork around this theme.
This boat cruise aims to not only show you the light installations of the festival but help bridge the gap between you and the art itself. The background of the pieces will be presented to you featuring unique insights. Your guides have a passion for art and some had personal contact with some of the artists featured in the past 6 years. Appreciate the unique light spectacle in the best way possible and gain an insider’s perspective on the message intended by the artist of the pieces.
Enjoy this private experience with your special someone or in a private group of up to 12 people. Ideal for a Romantic date night out.
“In Winter the boat will be closed with a roof and look through windows, we have warm blankets and heating in the boat. So you will be dry and warm at all times”
