We came to Amsterdam expressly for the Festival of Lights and were disappointed by how little light there was, contrary to what we'd seen on the internet. Also, the audio guide was in French, but there was no commentary.

A beautiful warm boat. Neat Captain and a wonderful experience which we recommend to everyone. Only message came through the app when we were already home. We had the boat trip at 18h in the evening and at 20.30 came the mail so that should be faster but otherwise Chapeau!

In the publicity they said they had an audio guide in Spanish, but later on the ship they did not give it in that language.
