Coming Soon: The Floating Dutchman

It will soon be possible for travelers with a layover in Amsterdam to take a bus tour through the canals of Amsterdam.

A bus tour?

Sure. Boat Company Lovers, one of the primary operators of glass-topped canal tour boats, and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport have joined hands to develop a state of the art amphibious bus.

The comfortable bus will pick up travelers at Schiphol Airport, bring them to Amsterdam by road for a sightseeing tour past all the major attractions, and then take to the canals near Amsterdam Central Station.

Total round-trip: 3 hours, 45 minutes of which are spent sailing the canals.

Permission for the attraction, titled “The Floating Dutchman: The Most Splashing Way To See Amsterdam” has already been granted.

Lovers (pronounced “loafers” — although they don’t mind hearing ‘lovers’ either) has ordered four buses. The first Floating Dutchman is expected to hit the road/water in January, 2009.
