Charter the Ritz saloon boat in Amsterdam: a 1915 private classic with a mahogany interior, restroom on board, a heated and covered cabin and a flexible outdoor space with a sliding roof. For groups of up to 12 guests, captain and welcome drink included.
This historic saloon boat seats up to 12 guests, making it our best choice for larger groups on a classic canal cruise. The Ritz is listed in the Dutch national register of historic ships, Register Varend Erfgoed Nederland, under the Oude Glorie classification.
The saloon boat can be booked for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just for drinks and snacks. With a full food service, capacity is 10–12 guests. See the food menus.
The original 1915 mahogany interior brings a real sense of authenticity and elegance to the experience on board.
There is a restroom on board, genuinely useful on longer cruises and dinner charters.
Since this year the stern has a sliding roof, so the back of the boat opens right up in good weather and closes again for shade or rain. The cabin is heated and covered throughout, which makes the Ritz a genuinely flexible boat in any season.
Enjoy our well-stocked minibar with a wide choice of drinks: Champagne, prosecco and an exclusive wine selection. See the drinks menu.
Ritz is our most stately saloon boat and the best fit for larger groups, dinner cruises and celebrations. The restroom on board makes it especially comfortable on longer trips.
Unlike Undine and Tzar, the greater distance between captain and guests means you can have real privacy on board whenever you want it. An optional host can also be added for table service during the cruise.






Book a private cruise on the Ritz through our online booking system. Every cruise includes your captain and a welcome drink, and your captain doubles as your guide if you like. Compare durations and prices on our tours and prices page.
