Imagine enjoying a delicious dinner while Amsterdam slowly passes by.

Not in a restaurant overlooking the canals, but aboard your own private salon boat. The historic canals become your backdrop, and every turn reveals a new view.

That is dining on the water in Amsterdam.

Why Is a Dinner Cruise in Amsterdam So Special?

A great restaurant is about more than just the food. It is about the atmosphere, the surroundings and the memories you take home with you.

Aboard a private boat, all these elements come together.

You can enjoy a culinary experience while cruising through the historic heart of Amsterdam, surrounded by centuries-old canal houses, bridges and waterways.

Amsterdam's Canals as Your Dining Room

A restaurant has an interior. A private boat has Amsterdam.

As you dine, the view is constantly changing. Historic façades, elegant bridges, canals and illuminated streets create a setting that no traditional restaurant can recreate.

And because you are cruising, the scenery never stays the same.

One moment you are passing beneath a historic bridge; the next, you are looking out over a beautiful canal lined with Amsterdam's characteristic canal houses.

A private dinner cruise in Amsterdam turns the city itself into part of your dining experience.

From Drinks and Bites to an Elaborate Dinner. Not every occasion calls for a full dinner.

Sometimes, a relaxed drink accompanied by luxury bites and sharing platters is exactly what you are looking for. For other occasions, an extended lunch, dinner or private dining experience is the perfect choice.

Private Boat Tours offers a range of culinary experiences, including:

• luxury bites and sharing platters;

• brunch;

• lunch;

• afternoon tea;

• private fine dining.

This makes it possible to tailor your experience to the occasion, the time of day and your group.

Fine Dining on the Water

A private dinner on a boat in Amsterdam is an especially memorable choice for an anniversary, birthday, romantic evening or corporate occasion.

The advantage is that you are not simply reserving a table.

You are reserving an entire experience.

The boat, the route, your company and the culinary experience all come together as one.

Instead of spending an evening in one location, you can enjoy a private dining experience while Amsterdam unfolds around you.

Who Can You Enjoy a Dinner Cruise With?

A private dinner cruise is suitable for many different occasions and groups:

• As a couple: for a romantic evening on the Amsterdam canals;

• With family: for a special celebration or memorable occasion;

• With friends: for an exclusive evening together;

• With colleagues or business partners: for a sophisticated corporate dinner;

• With a larger group: for an anniversary, celebration or private event.

The choice of salon boat can be tailored to the number of guests and the atmosphere you are looking for.

A Dinner You Will Not Soon Forget

There is something timeless about dining on the water.

Perhaps it is the gentle movement of the boat. Perhaps it is the historic surroundings. Or perhaps it is simply the fact that, instead of looking at the walls of a restaurant while you eat, you are looking out across Amsterdam.

Whatever the reason, dining on the Amsterdam canals is about much more than going out for dinner.

It is an evening that literally moves through the city.
