Amsterdam Classic Saloon Boat Cruise with Drinks and Cheese

1.Amsterdam Classic Saloon Boat Cruise with Drinks and Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31,825 reviews · from $21Our pick

Review of Amsterdam’s covered saloon boat cruise, with canal landmarks, Dutch Gouda cheese, unlimited drinks, guide commentary, and practical tips.

“Smooth ride but all of the seating is facing inwards meaning you have to twist yourself around to view everything. Also half of the boat had plastic covering windows which you cannot see through. I have done Amsterdam canal cruises before with all-glass windows and a panoramic roof with seats all facing forwards which is much more preferable.”
