Amsterdam Light Festival
Experience the Amsterdam Light Festival with TCA Taxi & KINboat
From November 27, 2025, to January 18, 2026, Amsterdam will once again be the setting for the Amsterdam Light Festival. During the fourteenth edition, you’ll discover twenty light artworks by international artists on the theme of Legacy. The festival invites visitors to reflect on what we preserve, share, and pass on to future generations. The city transforms into an open-air museum of light, art, and stories, spread across the canals of the capital.
Sail sustainably with KINboat
As the official partner of the Amsterdam Light Festival, KINboat offers a unique way to experience the festival: from the water. During a sustainable cruise, you’ll admire the artworks up close, with unobstructed views of the city’s illuminated canals and iconic bridges.
KINboat’s experienced skippers will sail electric boats and share their knowledge and stories about the artworks and the city of Amsterdam along the way. Each cruise is personalized and atmospheric, with hot drinks on board and a carefully curated 75-90 minute route past the most beautiful works of art.
Easily book your cruise and taxi
When booking your KINboat cruise, you can immediately indicate whether you’d like to use a TCA Taxi. This way, you can travel comfortably and worry-free to and from the departure location. TCA drivers will safely transport you to the departure point at Amsterdam Central Station or pick you up afterward, so you can end your evening relaxed.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic boat trip, a trip out on the water with friends, or a unique winter outing, with KINboat and TCA Taxi you’ll experience the Amsterdam Light Festival in a sustainable and worry-free way.
