How to Find Us: A Simple Guide to Our Departure Points

Amsterdam is a vibrant city, but navigating it can sometimes be a challenge for visitors. To ensure you start your canal cruise stress-free, we've put together a simple guide to help you find your way to our main departure points.

General Tip: Public Transport in Amsterdam The GVB network (tram, bus, metro) is the easiest way to get around the city. You can buy day tickets or an anonymous OV-chipkaart from machines at stations and in many supermarkets.

Departure Point 1: Central Station

This is our busiest hub and the easiest to reach for most visitors.

• On Foot: When you arrive at the station, simply head to the main entrance on the city side. Our piers are located directly across the street. Look for our company signs.

• By Tram/Metro: Almost all lines stop at Central Station. It is the city's central hub.

Departure Point 2: Near the Anne Frank House

Many of our tours start or stop near this world-famous landmark on the Prinsengracht canal.

• By Tram: Take tram lines 13 or 17 to the "Westermarkt" stop. From there, it's just a 2-minute walk. Follow the signs for the Anne Frank House; our pier is located right nearby.

What If I Get Lost? Don't worry! Most locals are very helpful and speak English. You can also use a navigation app on your smartphone—just enter the address provided in your booking confirmation.
