Capacity

The Barbarella is a small, vintage saloon boat with a maximum capacity of 12 people. Every seat has a view and every view is guaranteed spectacular.

What to expect

Enjoy the best views in the city all the while sipping on unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks from our open bar. Aboard you will also find a selection of Dutch snacks such as our iconic bitterballen on this all-inclusive canal cruise.

While you enjoy the drinks, and the food, your experienced skipper takes you through the UNESCO-listed canal belt. That, plus the beautifully restored interior of a 1960’s saloon boat means one thing: some of the best sights in the city, so expect to have some fantastic photos!

You will have live commentary in English and Dutch from our multilingual skipper. For guests who prefer a self-guided experience, a digital audio guide is available in eight languages.

You can expect the following aboard The Barbarella:

• Open or covered aft deck (weather dependent)
• Open bar with unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks
• Onboard toilet
