Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise 2024-2025 from Rijksmuseum

Visit the Amsterdam Light Festival from the Amsterdam Museum District

Are you planning to escape the winter chill at Amsterdam’s iconic Museum Square? We highly recommend adding a spectacular Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise to the end of your day of art and culture. At Museum Square you’ll find a quartet of world-renowned museums: the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, and Moco Museum.

As the sun begins to set, the city transforms into a magical spectacle of light. The Amsterdam Light Festival, a yearly winter tradition, illuminates the canals with stunning installations from international artists. This year’s theme, Rituals, celebrates the timeless customs and practices that connect us all.

Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise in 2024-2025

The water is the best place to see the artworks from, as they are placed both in canals and along side them. When you step on board of a LOVERS Canal Cruises boat, you will also be nice and warm as the boats are heated. And the audio guide which will tell you all about the art and the artists is included in the ticket.

This Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise is longer than others because it does not start directly on the festival route. Instead the tour starts with a short cruise through the city before joining the route. Not to worry though, as you won’t miss any of the artwork on display along the canals.
