The best time of year to take a canal cruise in Amsterdam is spring, when the tulip season is at its peak and the weather is pleasant for sightseeing and cruising. Autumn is also an excellent time to visit Amsterdam and take a canal cruise. The weather in autumn is still not as cold as winter, and there are fewer crowds at the city’s popular attractions. If you are visiting in winter, try to plan your trip around the famous Amsterdam Light Festival, which takes place annually between November and January, or specifically during the Christmas and New Year’s Eve period, when the canals are beautifully illuminated with festive lights.

Hire narrow boats are usually available from mid March to late October which is often referred to as the ‘cruising season’. If you’re looking for peace, tranquillity and the kind of cosiness that canal boats are brimming with, then winter’s probably your best bet. Pubs are usually quieter and more welcoming, good moorings are easier to find and of course hire prices are cheaper. Some firms hire year round but you should check that the route you want is available because maintenance works can close locks and bridges etc. out of season. Hotelboats usually cruise late April to October. Prices are highest and canals are busiest during school holidays and half terms.
