Amsterdam Light Festival 2024 - 2025 Canal Cruise

In the dark winter months, Amsterdam traditionally transforms into a beautiful open-air light museum during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Modern artists from all over the world make spectacular light artworks that can be found in the city centre of Amsterdam. The 13th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival has the theme Rituals.

Light plays a special role in many rituals, from fire works to bonfires and from sky lanterns to candles on a birthday cake. As Amsterdam celebrates its 750 year anniversary, the festival has asked artists to reflect on and represent rituals that are meaningful to the city and its diverse population. Join a LOVERS canal cruise past the various light art, look through the windows and celebrate with light.

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 water route of the festival is designed in such a way that you can see all the artworks that are both on the canals and on the quayside.

The modern and comfortable and heated boats from LOVERS Canal Cruises are a great way to enjoy the Amsterdam Light Festival 2024. 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 Amsterdam Light Festival cruise departs daily, with frequent departures every evening of the festival.
