What to Expect From a Private Dinner Cruise in Amsterdam
Suitable for 2–12 people, depending on the chosen boat. Once seated at your floating dinner table, we'll hand you the menus from your chosen restaurants: a starter from one, a main from another, with more options possible for a 3- or 4-course experience.
Along the way you'll pass Amsterdam's most scenic architecture, the Seven Bridges, the Anne Frank House and the Red Light District, an unforgettable way to celebrate a special evening or surprise your partner with a floating candlelight dinner.
What Is the Price for a Private Dinner Cruise Amsterdam?
A 2-hour private dining experience starts from €430 including tax. Food and drinks are charged separately, on top of the boat: see the restaurant menus for the food you order, with prices and options per restaurant. On average, expect around €45 per person for 2 courses, €60 for 3 courses and €75 for 4 courses. The exact amount depends on the dishes you choose, as some exclusive dishes are priced higher.
The onboard minibar carries international wines by the bottle: whites such as Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, reds such as Malbec and Syrah, plus rosé, beer and soft drinks. Everything is listed on our drinks menu. For a more serious pairing, the exclusive fine wine selection (Sancerre, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Barolo and similar) can be pre-ordered before your cruise.
