Sail through the heart of the world's largest nautical event
Once every five years, Amsterdam becomes the backdrop for an unparalleled maritime spectacle: SAIL Amsterdam. During this tenth anniversary edition, impressive Tall Ships, naval vessels and historic ships from all corners of the world will sail into the harbour. For five days, the city will be all about seamanship, culture and international connections. And you can experience it all up close!
First-class view from the water
During the SAIL Amsterdam 2025 Canal Cruise, you will sail directly from Central Station into the bustling IJhaven, the beating heart of the festival. You will find yourself literally among hundreds of ships, ranging from heritage ships to modern naval vessels. From Ecuador to Australia: the world comes together on the water, and you are part of it.
SAIL is impressive from the quay, but you only really experience it on the water. You feel the power of the imposing Tall Ships, hear the flags flapping in the wind, and sail through maritime history unfolding before your eyes.
An experience for your bucket list
SAIL is not just a festival; it is a rare opportunity to experience a global nautical phenomenon up close. This one-hour cruise offers you a unique view of the event and shows you Amsterdam as you have never seen it before. Surrounded by sailing heritage, with the city as a backdrop.
Book your tickets for the Sail Amsterdam 2025 Cruise!
The cruise is perfect as a first introduction to the event or as a relaxing break during your day. Escape the crowds on the quay and take a tour on the water. Places are limited and demand is high, so make sure you book your tickets in time. With the ideal location at Amsterdam Central Station, on the quay of LOVERS Canal Cruises (official partner of SAIL 2025), you'll be in the centre of the festival in no time.
