The Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise brings a stunning spectacle to the city’s canals during the darkest months of the year. This year's theme, "Rituals," explores the symbolic role of light in various cultural and personal ceremonies, from birthdays to sacred traditions. The festival features over 20 light installations created by international artists, each reflecting unique interpretations of rituals that resonate with Amsterdam’s rich history and diverse population.
The Cruise offers the best way to experience the glowing art, as the heated boats glide past the artworks, both on the canals and along the quayside. With an informative audio guide in multiple languages, visitors can delve deeper into the stories behind each installation. The festival runs daily, making it a must-see winter event.
