Things to know before booking your Flagship Amsterdam canal cruise

• The Flagship Amsterdam Canal Cruise tickets are only valid for the date and time you chose while booking your tickets.
• If you are traveling with infants and require prams or strollers, choose the Open Boat Cruise with Unlimited Drink Options or the Evening Guided Cruise with Bar on Board. You can also request a buggy using the latter option when booking your ticket.
• Discounted tickets are available for children under the age of 11. Infants under the age of three travel for free.
• Discounted Open Boat Cruise with Unlimited Drink Options and Classic Boat Cruise with Cheese & Wine tickets are available from Monday to Thursday, so book your cruise on these days to save your money.
• There are several boarding points for the cruises, and choosing wisely can save you a lot of time. If you plan to spend just a day in Amsterdam and are arriving by train, choose a cruise departing near the Central Station. If you are visiting the Anne Frank House in the morning, you may want to do a cruise right after that. In this case, you should choose the starting location near the Anne Frank House. If you want to visit the museums in Museumsplein, pick the Rijksmuseum pier as your departure point. You cannot change your boarding point after you have booked your tickets.
• In case of bad weather or technical issues, your 1-Hour Luxury Canal Cruise on Authentic Flowerboat will be canceled and you will be seated in a closed replacement boat without flowers. 
• The boats are also wheelchair accessible, so avoid booking a Flagship cruise if you or someone you’re traveling with has mobility issues.
• Most boats only seat up to 20 people, so if you are in a large group that does not want to be separated, choose another cruise company.
• You can cancel these Flagship Amsterdam canal cruises up to 24 hours before the commencement of the experience, and you get a full refund.

Visitor tips

• If you are looking for recommendations about the city, bars, and restaurants to enhance your Amsterdam trip, make sure to have a conversation with the local guide on board.
• Opt for boat tours with food and drink options for a more well-rounded experience.
• Blankets are only available on some cruises, such as Open Boat Cruise with Unlimited Drink Options and Evening Guided Cruise with Bar on Board. Regardless, layer yourself well because it can get quite chilly on the boat, especially during the evenings
• All Flagship Amsterdam canal cruises are pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friend along.
• If you visit in spring (March to May) or summer (June to September), you’ll enjoy longer daylight hours and vibrant views. However, be prepared for larger crowds. Winter cruises can be magical with the city’s holiday lights, although it may be chilly.
• Arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure you get a good seat near the window, especially if you want a prime spot for photos.
• It is not necessary to print your e-ticket. Just show your ticket on your smartphone or any other electronic device.
• If you arrive early, explore the area around the departure point, as many cruises start near popular attractions like the Anne Frank House or the Rijksmuseum. 
• Bring your tickets and a valid ID when boarding the boat.
