SAIL Evening Cruise – Enjoy the Fireworks with a Glass of Bubbles

Step aboard for an unforgettable evening cruise during SAIL Amsterdam, the world-renowned maritime event that takes place once every five years. As the sun sets, experience the magic of the illuminated Tall Ships and the grand finale fireworks display from the best viewpoint—the water! With a drink in hand, relax and take in the stunning sights.

SAIL Amsterdam is a five-day maritime festival that transforms the city into a nautical hotspot. Held from August 20 to 24, 2025, this edition is particularly special, marking a triple jubilee: the 10th edition of SAIL, the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam, and the 50th anniversary of SAIL itself.

Sailing through the heart of the event, you’ll be surrounded by a fleet of heritage ships, navy vessels, and majestic Tall Ships, all glowing under the evening lights. Enjoy breathtaking views and an unparalleled atmosphere while you are cruising around an armada of ships. This event brings together some of the most iconic ships, from two-masted schooners to four-masted barques, making it an unmissable spectacle.

Each day, the event ends in a breathtaking show, and the SAIL Evening Cruise is the perfect way to enjoy it in style. Instead of navigating through the crowds on land, you’ll have a front-row seat to the illuminated ships and the dazzling fireworks from the comfort of your boat and glass of bubbles.

From the boarding point close to Amsterdam Central Station, just across the IJ-river, you will cruise into the event. Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to celebrate the event, the SAIL Night Cruise promises an unforgettable evening on the water. 

With limited availability and high demand, securing your place on the SAIL Fireworks Cruise is essential. As SAIL Amsterdam only happens once every five years, this is a rare opportunity to be part of one of the world’s most celebrated maritime events. Step aboard for an evening of maritime magic, complete with complimentary drinks, as you sail among the legendary ships.
