Virgin Voyages' guide to Amsterdam, Netherlands

World renowned as one of the most exciting cities on Earth, Amsterdam, a storybook city of winding canals, labyrinths of cobblestone streets — each offering their own eclectic array of shops, cafes and restaurants and rainbow colored door gable houses lining each street, is a city unlike any of its European neighbors.

From the pier you’ll walk to the ferry, like an Amsterdam local. The ferry will take you to Amsterdam North to your destination, The Lookout. You’ll head up to the 22nd floor where you’ll experience the panoramic views. From there the ferry will take you to Amsterdam’s city center where your guide will walk you back to the pier.

Starting at the small harbor adjacent to where we dock you’ll board The Canal Boat, one of the many boats that travel through Amsterdam in its complicated and impressive canal system. Enjoy a mouthwatering cheese plate, bread, olives, wine and more as you take this candlelit 1.5 hour tour learning all the eclectic facts about the Dutch Capital while experiencing what it’s like to travel through these canals unlike anywhere else in the world.
