A special occasion to revive the Amsterdam Canal Journal after a  year of silence:

 

The Xmas Canal Parade on Christmas eve

 

 

 Led by the hundred year old Saloonboat Avanti, a parade of 18 richly decorated canaltour boats will sail a Christmas Parade in the Amsterdam Canals on December 24th. The Xmas Canal Parade will leave from the Music Centre on the IJ, turn into the city and make a tour of the city via the river Amstel and the Prince's Canal. The idea for this Christmas Boat Parade came from boatlover Vincent Horbach. A few years ago he saw a sailing Christmas parade in Florida. He thought Amsterdam must be the most beautiful location for such an event and set to work on his project. He found some sponsors and some tourboat companies were willing to supply boats to sail on Christmas eve. All boats will be richly decorated with Chritmas themes and there will be music on board. A choir on one of the boats will sing Christmas songs. For  information about this event:
