Dinner on a boat in Amsterdam
A dinner on a boat creates an atmosphere you won't find in any restaurant. As the boat sails quietly and fully electric on green energy through the canals, the view keeps changing. Historic canal houses, bridges and illuminated quays form a backdrop that shifts throughout the evening. What makes dining on the water so special is that you're not just sitting down to eat together, but also sailing through the city at the same time. While you enjoy the dinner and each other's company, you see Amsterdam from a fresh perspective every moment. A dinner on a boat in Amsterdam combines eating together with the unique experience of cruising through the canals.
