Saloon boats
The Saloon boats form a special category in
the Canal Cruise trade. Historical luxury
vessels, most of them were built at the
beginning of the 20th century. Lawyers, MD's
and other professionals used them to visit
their clients and to entertain guests. The
first commercial canal cruise boats were
built in this style, they catered to wealthy
guests of the top hotels in the city.
Recently restored and equipped with modern
instruments, a growing number of these
Saloon Boats have joined the Amsterdam Canal
Cruise fleet.
Mostly small companies, which offer a large
variety of luxury cruises with five-star
service.

Captain/Tourguide/Journalist
Jan is a veteran of the
Amsterdam canals.
He began exploring them by boat in
1975. He knows all their secrets,
even the ones below the surface. The
tour-guide stories he tells his
passengers on his daily cruise
acquired some fame, as you can read
in his
Guestbook.
"Even Bruce Willis laughed about
my jokes" he recalls proudly and
claims that motivated him to write
the first book ever written about
Amsterdam Canal Cruises.
Explore Amsterdam the way
it should be seen:
on the Captain's seat of an
exclusive canal cruise boat. Find
your way around the city on a
beautifully illustrated clickable
map from 1692 and then check the
