History
Amsterdam’s canals were dug in the 17th century as part of an urban expansion tied to maritime trade; the ring of canals is a product of deliberate water management and commerce.
Conservation
Boat operators in Amsterdam increasingly use electric propulsion to reduce emissions and protect canal water quality; visitors are asked to avoid littering and to respect residential moorings.
Reserve your spot on the Amsterdam Small-Group Canal Cruise With Dutch Snacks and Drink today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
