Pass By: Flagship Amsterdam, Leliegracht 50D, 1015 DH Amsterdam, Netherlands

The itinerary is a little different for each departure location. Each itinerary has its own charm! Please contact our support team for more information on this.


Pass By: The Jordaan, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

Pass By: Westerkerk, Prinsengracht 279-281, 1016 GW Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Westerkerk (English: Western Church) is a Reformed church within the Dutch Protestant church in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It lies in the most western part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood (Centrum borough), next to the Jordaan, between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht.

Pass By: Koninklijk Theater Carre, Amstel 115-125 Grachtengordel: East, 1018 EM Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Royal Theatre Carré (Dutch: Koninklijk Theater Carré) is a Neo-Renaissance theatre in Amsterdam, located near the river Amstel. When the theatre was founded in 1887, it was originally meant as a permanent circus building. Currently, it is mainly used for musicals, cabaret performances, and pop concerts.

Pass By: Rijksmuseum, Museumstraat 1, 1071 XX Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace and later in the Trippenhuis. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened in 1885. On 13 April 2013, after a ten-year renovation which cost € 375 million, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. In 2013 and 2014, it was the most visited museum in the Netherlands with record numbers of 2.2 million and 2.47 million visitors. It is also the largest art museum in the country. Our boats will sail along the Prinsengracht with a view on the Rijksmuseum

The museum has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of 1 million objects from the years 1200–2000, among which are some masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer. The museum also has a small Asian collection, which is on display in the Asian pavilion.


Pass By: Anne Frank House, Prinsengracht 263 - 267 museum entrance Westermarkt 20, 1016 DK Amsterdam The Netherlands

Nestled within the historic confines of the Prinsengracht, this iconic house served as the refuge for Anne Frank and her family during the tumultuous years of World War II.

Pass By: Dutch National Opera & Ballet, Amstel 3, 1011 PN Amsterdam The Netherlands

Dutch National Opera (DNO; formerly De Nederlandse Opera, now De Nationale Opera in Dutch) is a Dutch opera company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its present home base is the Dutch National Opera & Ballet housed in the Stopera building, a modern building designed by Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer which opened in 1986.

Pass By: Magere Brug, Kerkstraat Nieuwe Kerkstraat, Amsterdam The Netherlands

One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.

Pass By: Herengracht, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North"

Pass By: Seven Bridges View Point, Thorbeckeplein 30, Amsterdam The Netherlands

Since most canals in Amsterdam make a curve, seeing through so many bridges at once is very rare!

Pass By: Munt Tower (Munttoren), Muntplein, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Munttoren (mint tower) was once part of the Regulierspoort which consisted of a gate with a tower on each side. It was built between 1480 and 1487 as part of the medieval city wall. Back in the 17th century, the tower was used to mint coins.

Pass By: The Amstel, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Amstel is the biggest canal of all, and Amsterdam was founded from this canal which was originally a river. Fisherman builds a "dam" and called is Amsterdam.

Perfect amount of time with ability to have pre dinner cocktails and learn a little about Amsterdam, have some great pictures. We had just flown in that day and it was the perfect first day activity. Also one of the few available that start near the museums, a short walk from our hotel.

The original trip was canceled because of the rain which wasn’t Flagship’s fault at all. It was rescheduled for a covered boat which wasn’t nearly as fun as the open boat tour. Do the open boat tour if you have the option. Also, the lady doing the tour was rather condescending because of a concern we had with the kids and when we asked about WW 2 history. All in all, it was an average experience, the weather wasn’t their fault but the tour guide could have told a lot less beer jokes and a lot more history facts.

Entertaining and informative trip, plus the company rebooked me on a covered boat (with wine and cheese, no less!) when the weather turned rainy. Great service!

Little commentary since the boat was mostly occupied by drunk people acting like teenagers. The guides were overwhelmed by their boisterous behavior. We learned nothing about Amsterdam from this experience.

We left with 30 mn delay and being told we would have a close boat. We had booked an open one. The guide wasn’t very knowledgeable. We could feel it was the last cruise of the day and wasn’t planned for him. Piece of advice be really careful when you book an evening cruise

Wonderful views with excellent service and friendly staff. It's easy to find the tour. I only wish they provided more information on what sites we were passing.

The journey was very comfortable, and sailing was enjoyable too, but it always feels too short. The captains' explanations could be improved with more historical background.
