Flagship Amsterdam: Sustainable Canal Cruises with Heart & Soul 🌿🚤

Gliding through Amsterdam’s historic canals with Flagship Amsterdam isn’t just a tour – it’s an experience that captures the city’s spirit while protecting its future. Voted the #1 Best Day Cruise in the World, Flagship redefines canal exploration with its perfect blend of sustainability, local expertise, and pure Dutch gezelligheid (coziness).

🌿 Sailing With Purpose: Our Green Mission

Born in 2017 from three friends’ passion for their city, Flagship Amsterdam was created to:

• Pioneer silent, emission-free cruising with our 100% electric fleet
• Celebrate authentic Amsterdam through passionate local skippers
• Create meaningful moments that go beyond typical tourist experiences
• Protect our canals through sustainable practices like plastic-free service

We believe the best way to see Amsterdam is the way it was meant to be experienced – joyfully, responsibly, and with a drink in hand!
