Amsterdam Light Festival 2025 -2026

In the dark winter months, Amsterdam transforms into a beautiful open-air light museum during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Artists from all over the world make spectacular light artworks along the canals of Amsterdam’s city centre. Join a LOVERS canal cruise past all the various light art, look through the windows and celebrate with light.

The best boat tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival

The best way to enjoy the art of the festival is with Amsterdam Light Festival boat tour. From the water, you have a first-class view of the light art while you can relax and take it all in. The artworks are all installed in a single route along the water, so our canal boats go past all of them. 

The modern and comfortable and heated boats from LOVERS Canal Cruises are a great way to enjoy the Amsterdam Light Festival 2025. Along the way, the audio guide (in English & Dutch) tells you more about the beautiful light installations you see along the light festival tour in Amsterdam.

Each work of art on display for this light tour through Amsterdam naturally tells its own story, however, there are many common themes and stories to discover. The coldest and darkest months of the year will be a lot brighter and cosier with Amsterdam Light Festival boat tickets.

    The canal cruise during the Amsterdam Light Festival was an excellent idea for winter. The boats were heated and super comfy. The light artworks were a treat to the eyes, really enjoyed the stories in the audio guide too. Would do it again!
