In the 15th century, Amsterdam became a major trading center. Today, is most famous for its narrow, gabled houses lining the canals. Board a glass-topped canal boat at the cruise terminal for a 1.5-hour ride through Amsterdam's canals -- a UNESCO World Heritage site -- passing major monuments such as the Maritime Museum, the Town Hall. You will view the city center from a completely different angle and glide past corners built in the Middle Ages where, nowadays, passage by regular transport is logistically impossible. Lined with numerous trees and monumental buildings, the famous crescent-shaped Herengracht, Keizergracht and Prinsengracht Canals provide the setting for your leisurely cruise. Although many canal houses have now been converted into offices, shops and restaurants, there are still many functioning as private residences. During the canal boat ride, you'll have the opportunity to sip some wine, beer or soft drinks as you sample Dutch cheese and crackers.
