Make the farewell to single life of your best friend extra special by cruising with your group on a classic saloon boat through the Amsterdam canals.

Why Choose a Private Saloon Boat
The saloon boats of Rederij De Jordaan combine authentic charm with modern comfort. You will have the boat to yourselves, can play your own music and enjoy wine, ice-cold beer and, for extra festivity, champagne. The intimate atmosphere makes it perfect for a bachelorette celebration, pre-wedding party or even a baby shower or gender reveal party.
Private Groups up to 8 People
The classic saloon boats are suitable for bachelorette cruises for groups of up to 8 ladies, keeping the cruise personal and convivial. Together with the experienced captain, you discuss the route, which can vary from narrow canals to the Amstel and the IJ, precisely tailored to what you would like to experience.
