Your Heineken Experience ticket has a fixed timeslot chosen during booking. You must enter the museum exactly at this specific time. Your voucher needs to be scanned at the Heineken Experience entrance first. Your canal cruise ticket is an open ticket, meaning no timeslot is pre-allocated. You must redeem your open ticket inside one of the Gray Line Amsterdam/Blue Boat Company ticket offices to be assigned a timeslot for the cruise. Once redeemed, you can board the next available boat at either of the two docks listed below:
Dock 1: Opposite Hard Rock Cafe (Stadhouderskade 501). Take tram 1, 2, 5, 11, or 12 and stop at Leidseplein. The dock is a 2-min walk from there.

Heineken Experience
This experience includes alcoholic beverages. Availability is subject to age restrictions and local laws. Please carry a valid ID. Drink responsibly.
For safety reasons, guests under the age of 18 years will not be served alcoholic drinks.
Facilities: lockers, cloakroom, and restroom.
Amsterdam Canal Cruise
Most boats have a roof that closes fully and have central heating on board. So even if it is cold outside, you will be warm inside the boat. The boats mostly sail within the city centre, where the water stays very calm, so they can sail in almost any weather.
If a cruise cannot take place due to extreme weather circumstances, the company will contact you to reschedule your ticket to another date.
Please arrive 15 mins before your departure.
This activity is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled. Variant-specific cancellation policies may apply.
