Amsterdam Canal Ring
All cruises are captained by myself as the captain/owner of the Drift Away. We depart from the Singel no.7 and we will return to this location at the end of the cruise. I do not offer a fixed route, depending on your wishes as guests I will tailor the cruise to you specifically. Due to the custom design of the Drift Away we have access to even the narrowest canals of Amsterdam and are able to pass even the lowest of bridges. If you do not have any preferences I will put together a route which will give you an overview of the canal belt, a few of the small less travelled canals, the Amstel river and the eastern maritime area. As a born and raised ¨Amsterdammer¨ I have a wealth of knowledge about Amsterdams history, culture and the Dutch way of life in general. I love sharing with you about my hometown in an easy going manner, with a good sense of humor and the typical Dutch straight forwardness!
The Jordaan
We will pass through the pitoresque district the Jordaan. The name of the Jordaan finds its origin in the French word Jardin, meaning garden. Many of the streets in the district are named after flowers.
Little sweet and savoury snacks to nibble on with your drinks are provided
Extensive open bar with local beers, top shelf liqours, soft drinks and hot drinks. You will not be disappointed! I make a killer G&T with local gin

We took this tour on recommendation of Viking cruises. We were absolutely amazed with the boat and the Fakko is an amazing captain. He explained everything to us. He was friendly. We felt like we were on our best friends’s boat and it was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it for anybody that is an Amsterdam to go on one of these cruises so much better with the small group and you feel like your family and it was amazing.

In our entire amazing 10 day trip to the Netherlands and Belgium, my husband said that this tour was his favorite thing we did. The tour aspect was nice, but the best part was being on the beautiful boat on a gorgeous day with good company. When you see the other giant boats with the tourists under glass, no drinks or little bar snacks, recorded audio guide, you will pity them! It was the perfect lowkey welcome to Amsterdam after an overnight international flight.

This was such a wonderful experience! We had gone on two previous canal tours this trip while in Europe and then another in Amsterdam afterwards. By far our sail with Bow’s Journey was the most pleasant and interesting one of all. The fact that it was an electric boat made the trip so much more pleasant. The boatsize was absolutely perfect. No crowding. The beverage array was amazing and our captain was full of interesting information. The entire energy of the experience was calm and just very enjoyable. Thank you!

This activity is a must do. Cannot highly recommend enough. We booked the small group tour. There were four of us on this trip. We were escorted from our hotel by Captain Hans and that's when the laughter began. It continued the whole adventure. Captain Hans was very informative and entertaining keep amused the whole trip. We all learnt a lot about Amsterdam history, buildings and the people. Tall tails were shared by all. Drinks and nibbles were included, there was not a want for anything, all were catered for. The boat had been beauitfully restored and very well presented. We were comfortable an made very welcome. Again this is a must do activity.

Wonderful! Bow provided history, information on living in Amsterdam and funny stories as we toured the canals. Small group, open bar and snacks made a terrific evening.

Exceeded expectations! Small intimate and lovely! Would highly recommend to see the city from a different view and our captain provided so much information about the city that we feel like we would have never learned. Top-notch and five stars for sure!

What a wonderful canal trip! Loved seeing beautiful Amsterdam from the canal with a knowledgeable and personable guide! After the trip, we had internet issues and couldn’t get our Uber. Not only did our guide place the request on his phone, he also walked us to the location site as there were blockages preventing the Uber driver from coming to us. Such incredible service. The trip went way beyond our expectations all the way around!

Awesome experience! Captain Fonz is hilarious! He had a number of jokes, and was very colorful. I absolutely enjoyed my experience. We got to see (and hear) the intimate details of Amsterdam from a local. This experience opened up my eyes to a lot of details, that I would have otherwise missed while visiting. I highly recommend!
