Being on a boat with just you and your love in Europe’s most romantic city: Amsterdam
Pair Your proposal with a private canal cruise for a moment that will last a lifetime
Imagine: only you and your partner, comfortably together on our cosy boat. The sound of water gently rippling against the side of the boat as we sail under the iconic bridges of Amsterdam, and along the beautiful 17th-century canal houses. Suddenly you get down on one knee and propose to her. Your lover is completely surprised and bursts with emotion, looks you in the eye and says … “YES”!
Amsterdam is the perfect place for a marriage proposal. A Magical place with historical houses, picturesque canals and romantically lit bridges.
Now is the best time to enjoy Amsterdam at its most romantic. Although Amsterdam is slowly becoming busier after the pandemic, it is still much quieter than it used to be. Therefore you can enjoy the romantic atmosphere to the maximum. This unique opportunity to experience the city with enough bustle to make it fun, but not too much to make it overcrowded, will never return.

Why did we create this Marriage Proposal in Amsterdam?
We believe that Amsterdam is a city of Love. When people think of Amsterdam, they think of alcohol, drugs and the Red Light District but fail to realize that the city has a hidden treasure of beautiful spots, picturesque bridges, historic houses and more than 165 canals that make this city truly romantic. This scenic backdrop makes Amsterdam a wonderful background for probably one of the most important moments in your life. After all, you are making a life-long commitment! That is why we want to help you to make this day special, but above all to create a moment exactly as you imagine it. We have already helped to create over 100 marriage proposals and so far they have all said YES. And we like to keep it that way! We hope we can make this day extra special for you too.
What will you see on this Amsterdam Canal Proposal Cruise?
For this Marriage Proposal Cruise, we have selected a special route that takes you along the most beautiful canals and iconic buildings, to bring the romance of Amsterdam to life. We will share stories of love and romance related to the main highlights of Amsterdam. If you have a wish to see a specific part of the city, we can adjust the route so that it is exactly the way you want it. Several highlights on this route are the Seven Bridges of Love, the building where the first gay marriage took place, the Wooden Love Bridge (Skinny Bridge) and many other beautiful highlights.
Where is the best place to propose to your loved one?
There are many wonderful places in Amsterdam where you can propose to the love of your life. Based on our experience, here are a few suggestions. The Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) is a beautiful wooden bridge on the river Amstel with the legend that if you sail underneath and kiss each other, you will be together forever. It is a meaningful bridge and romantic location. The only downside is that it can sometimes be a bit busier and therefore not very private. The second location for your marriage proposal is at the end of the Seven Bridges of Love. Here is a small canal with a nice view of the two towers of the Rijksmuseum. This is the place we recommend because it is quiet and you have all the privacy you want for a marriage proposal. A third suggestion is on one of the 7 bridges in Amsterdam. We will then stop in the middle of the seven bridges and get off to walk to the bridge. This is ideal if you want to photograph your proposal. You have a beautiful background and therefore ideal for taking beautiful photos when you propose to your loved one. We have a number of photographers who specialise in marriage proposals and with whom we regularly work.
What are the possibilities for this Marriage Proposal Cruise?
The Private Marriage Proposal Canal Tour has been specially created to realize exactly what you want. We can arrange a live violinist or guitar player or maybe you want a singer on board. A beautiful bouquet of roses or champagne. You may want everything to be captured by a photographer or videomaker. We go to great lengths to make this day exactly as you imagine it. Let us know your special request and we will make sure it will happen.
When is the best time to book a proposal canal tour in Amsterdam?
My personal opinion is that Amsterdam is beautiful in a different way at different times of the day.In the morning it is calm and quiet on the canals with a few boats.In the afternoon it is usually nice and busy (especially on weekends) and often warmer on the water
At the end of the day, the city calms down and you can often see a beautiful sunset. In the evening/night, the city is beautifully lit with lights on all bridges. This is the time when true romance and magic come to life. Let us know what you prefer.
