The boat slips forward and the city’s brick facades slide past in strips of colored light.

Suitable for all fitness levels; minimal mobility required aside from boarding a step
Most festival cruises depart from central quays near the Anne Frank House or nearby central canal piers; your ticket will list the exact boarding point.
No—options include beer, wine, mulled wine and soft drinks; non-alcoholic choices are available.
Strollers are accommodated on the quay but require folding to board; a large step onto the boat may make independent wheelchair boarding difficult—contact the operator for assistance.
Boats are covered in wet weather, and the route is adjusted as needed; the cruise runs in most weather conditions unless the operator cancels for safety.
Amsterdam’s canal ring was dug in the 17th century to expand trade and housing; its concentric canals provide the historic stage for contemporary light installations.
The festival encourages responsible viewing from the water—avoid feeding wildlife, dispose of waste properly, and choose operators that follow low-emission and noise-minimizing practices.
Booot Amsterdam operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
