Amsterdam Light Festival Christmas Cruise

Amsterdam Light Festival Christmas cruise

What are we doing this Christmas in 2024? Do we celebrate with us or with you? Or shall we come up with something where no one has to stand in the kitchen and everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest? To all these questions, Rederij Belle has a great answer: an enjoyable, all-inclusive cruise.

No Christmas tree, but lots of lights

Christmas is traditionally the time to meet again. To catch up, look back on the old year and make new plans. But maybe it would be a nice idea to do it a little differently this year. We would like to invite you to take a cruise on one of our four salon boats and admire the artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival 2024 from the water.

The salon boats, Emma, Belle van Zuylen, Adeline and Dame of Amsterdam, are of course decorated ´at Christmas´. In doing so, our professional crew is going to ensure that the inner man will not lack anything.

A pleasant and tasty Christmas

Do you love a good Christmas drink? We are happy to arrange those for you, including an “Amsterdam plateau” of tasty snacks. Something more elaborate to eat is also possible: we serve on board an exquisite buffet of hot and cold dishes. The composition is very varied, something for everyone. If you have special preferences, we are happy to accommodate them.
It also includes a complete Christmas dinner. On board, you choose your appetizer, main course and dessert from our wide menu. Along the way, we dock three times at a top Amsterdam restaurant to pick up freshly prepared dishes.

When do we celebrate?

You can take our Christmas cruise along the Amsterdam Light Festival on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Which of our four boats we use depends on the size of your party.
