There is no better way to enjoy Amsterdam – combining sightseeing and gastronomy -
than from the water.

Blue Pepper’s Dinner Cruise is your ultimate private dining experience on a boat exclusively reserved for you, with our chefs on board. It is offered to groups of 8 to 250 on boats and ships of different sizes.

Antique boats and ships, refitted with modern luxuries, will take you through the UNESCO World Heritage Listed canals of Amsterdam, its historic landmarks, the beautiful Amstel and Ij rivers, and gorgeous sunset views. The spectacular dinner cruise offers the perfect setting for boardroom meetings, company events and Christmas parties, wedding and family occasions.

You will have, at your disposal:

  • An enormous range of boats and ships to choose from – for an intimate group of 8 to a party for over 250.
  • Gastronomic menus offering a range of cuisines: modern Dutch, Asian fusion, Mediterranean, pan-Asian, South-East Asian. (see recent menus below)
  • Unparalleled adaptability – we customize the menu for every occasion with your input and wish list. Special attention for vegetarian/vegan meals.
  • Live cooking on board by our chefs. Nothing is outsourced to catering companies offering boiler-plate menus.
  • Choice between a formal seated dinner, a cosy and informal setup, or an evening of amazing canapés and bites with drinks, or a buffet, or even a barbeque.
  • Over 75 handpicked wines, Dutch and Belgian craft beers, and signature cocktails and alcohol-free options.
  • Exclusive use of the boat/ship for your own group, with commentary on the sights and sounds of Amsterdam if you wish.
  • Live music, DJ, culinary theatrics e.g. our Amsterdam Diamond Cocktail, can all be added as extra touches to elevate your experience.
  • Lunch cruises are also possible.

The dinner cruise exceeded my expectations.

The food was incredible, the service
was excellent, atmosphere totally charming. Even coordinating the logistics in
advance was pleasant. It was a very special experience, even for us
Amsterdammers who have all been on the canals many many times. It was one of
the best activities I’ve ever done in Amsterdam, and my whole group raved about the
experience afterwards.

I didn't personally experience the dinner cruise, but worked with Blue Pepper to
arrange a 25-person dinner for our company.
My colleagues shared that the service was excellent and everybody had a great
time.
The owner worked with me every step of the way and even though I was thousands

of miles away, the dinner went without any hiccups. He was also very
accommodating to my last-minute requests.
Anyone looking to book a large party in Amsterdam should check out Blue Pepper!

I have been going to Blue Pepper for the last 15 years.

First when I lived in The
Netherlands and then every time I visited. The quality of the food is outstanding. If
you are looking for a modern version of Indonesian cuisine, including a very creative
rice table, then I recommend you book a table and enjoy the experience. It's very
much worth it.

We had an amazing experience on the Blue Pepper Dinner Cruise! 

Everything was top-notch from start to finish. The food was absolutely fantastic – truly delicious and beautifully presented. The boat ride itself was wonderful, with breathtaking views of Amsterdam from the water. Such a special way to see the city!
A big thank you as well for the smooth and uncomplicated organization – everything was perfectly arranged. Highly recommended – we would definitely do it again!

Abu and team were amazing. I was planning a 40 person dinner canal cruise– and didn’t want the standard offerings. Abu worked with me on the menu options to provide a unique experience. I highly recommend this restaurant or canal cruise!

Top business dinner
Jan 2020 • None
We chose Blue Pepper for our Dutch client dinner because of its high ratings and reputation. Despite several changes in our itinerary and guest list and a few difficult food restrictions, they took very good care of us. Nothing was too much for them and those of us who chose some a la carte options were as happy as the others who mostly opted for their famous Indonesian rice table. Wine suggestions by the glass were plentiful as most of us wanted different things. An Indonesian beer was also available. We would definitely be interested in trying their dinner cruise during a warmer season. Very professional service and delicious food.

Perfect group dinner cruise

Nov 2019 • None
Blue Pepper recently organised a dinner cruise and reception in Amsterdam for one of our corporate marketing events. It was a perfect work of organisation, attention to detail in food and drinks and a beautifully set-up luxury boat that all of us loved. We had guests from different parts of the world and some had special food requests which were satisfied without a glitch. The team and the boat arrived well ahead of the event to pick us up from our hotel and greeted everyone on board with champagne before we sat down for a formal dinner around a long table decorated with candles and flowers. The menu featured Amsterdam’s well-known Indonesian food but was carefully constructed to be neither too spicy nor heavy and served at a pace to allow for all the drinks, including some fines wines, and lively conversation. They dropped us back at our hotel at the end of the cruise through the canals. A splendid evening. We couldn’t have asked for better event planning and execution.

Lovely evening
Apr 2019 • Family
A perfect evening dinner cruise through the canals. Very comfortable and quiet. Service efficient and friendly. Delicious food, set menu served family style (Asian/Indonesian). Multiple courses and all excellent. Very good wine pairing. €110/person without drinks so a little pricey but highly recommend.

Exceptional Group Event
Feb 2019 • Business
I arranged a group event for a team that was traveling to Amsterdam for a conference from a large Redmond, WA, based company. Blue Pepper was BEYOND easy to work with from the original booking, to the last minute additional attendees we had, to the menu updates we requested – all asks were met with an easy “yes”. The feedback I received from everyone that attended the cruise was that it was AMAZING. Even though in chilly, rainy February, the boat was warm and they said the food was outstanding!! People said it was exceptional in every way possible. They really came through with a flawless experience. I would not hesitate for a moment to book this dinner cruise again for any group I work with.

Very nice boat cruise with dinner and drinks
Dec 2018 • Couples
We chose the Blue Pepper dinner cruise for the all-in tour of the canals with dinner and drinks. We had a very pleasant and relaxed evening, with a tour of the important Light Festival installations. What’s surprisingly nice is that unlike some of the other boats we passed by, this was not an overcrowded and noisy tour. A multi-course dinner menu was served with food being served at regular intervals, with a pour of matching wines. Charming service that made the whole tour seemed like an exclusive option to see the beautiful Amsterdam canals and the lights with a great deal of comfort.

Service was excellent, and the Indonesian food was fantastic! If you want something different and to see Amsterdam`s Canal Ring, I strongly recommend this dinner cruise. We were a group of 20 people travelling together, and the crew arranged one long table with white tablecloths, such a nice atmosphere! Many thanks to Abu and his crew for a great experience!

Amazing dinner cruise celebration
Oct 2018 • Business
Amazing food and wines and beautiful, relaxed tour of Amsterdam on Blue Pepper’s luxury boat. On board bar carries a treasure trove of drinks and our group of about 20 had the highest level of service and satisfaction while on a conference stopover.
