A date on the canals, four centuries back

Sit side by side in a covered boat with a drink, put the headsets on at the same moment and see the same canal as it was around 1650. Then take them off and talk about it, with today's Amsterdam outside the window.

Two guests sitting next to each other in the VR Voyage boat, smiling, with earphones in and canal houses outside.

Your date in three parts

  1. 1
    The VR Voyage boat moored on an Amsterdam canal, with canal houses behind it.

    Board at Leidsekade 101

    A short walk from Leidseplein. The crew welcomes you with a drink, and you sit side by side in the covered boat.

  2. 2
    Two guests side by side in the boat, both wearing VR Voyage headsets, looking the same way.

    Headsets on, 7 times

    At 7 spots on the route you both see the 1600s at the same moment, for about 2 minutes each, each in your own language.

  3. 3
    A guest at the boat's window looking out over a canal with trees and houses, a VR headset on her lap.

    Headsets off, the city now

    Most of the 75 minutes you just sail: through the canals, with the guide on board and time to compare what you both just saw.

About the gift card

The usual date worries

And if it rains?
The boat is covered, and heated in winter, so rain is part of the view. In severe weather we let you know in advance and rebook or refund.
What if our plans change?
Cancel or rebook for free up to 24 hours before departure. Email your booking number and we sort it out.
Not the same first language?
Each of you picks Dutch, English, or Spanish for the animation and the audio tour in your own headset.
