Experience 750 years of Amsterdam from the water

26 February 2025

For 750 years, Amsterdam has been shaped by trade, adventure and stories. The canals play an important role in this: they tell the story of the city. Rederij Kooij is therefore organizing a historic cruise especially for this anniversary year. Get on board and discover Amsterdam from a new perspective!

A journey through the history of Amsterdam

During this two-hour cruise, a guide will take you past the canal houses, bridges and historic locations of the city. From the Texelse Kade to the Golden Bend and the Schreierstoren: there is a story behind every place. Along the way you will hear about the daily lives of maids, the infamous gallows field and the influence of the Night Watch on Amsterdam.

A typical Amsterdam delicacy is served on board, and a toilet and heating are available. The cruise only takes place on Sundays and is not suitable for children.
