canal cruise

Boat tour, channels

A canal cruise is a leisurely boat trip along a canal, typically for sightseeing or pleasure rather than transportation.

Amsterdam is famous for its canal cruises past historic buildings, as are Venice and various European waterways.

The boats are usually flat-bottomed and slow-moving, suited to narrow channels: We took a canal cruise through the old city center.
