Is the Amsterdam Light Festival cruise worth it?

Answer: Well, a canal cruise in Amsterdam in general is a wonderful and highly recommended experience, so during the Light Festival the cruise becomes even more enjoyable. If you happen to visit Amsterdam in the winter (between November and January), do yourself a favor and don’t miss the experience of the Light Festival cruise.

This is a highly impressive event featuring some of the leading artists, who create true works of art using light installations against the backdrop of Amsterdam’s beautiful canals. The cruises run in the evening and pass right by the artworks. Of course, you can also see the installations on foot or by bike, but viewing them from the water is the ultimate experience, and we definitely recommend it.
