What To Expect

Amsterdam Icebar Xtracold:

Easily the coolest attraction in town, Amsterdam Icebar Xtracold is made completely from ice — with frozen furniture, walls and even drinking glasses. On arrival at your pre-booked time slot in the lounge, you’re greeted with a complimentary cocktail and provided a thermal poncho and mittens before you step into the frosty bar with a temperature of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius)!

Once inside, relax at leisure amid the cozy yet icy ambiance. Enjoy your choice of either two Smirnoff cocktails or two Heineken beers on the house.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Before you make your way to the pier near Amsterdam Central Station for your cruise, make sure you book your timeslot at the local office located at Damrak 26. At the booked time, board the glass-topped sightseeing boat for your 1-hour sightseeing cruise. As you glide effortlessly through the city, you’ll see countless top Amsterdam attractions like the affluent Golden Bend (Gouden Bocht) neighborhood, the Anne Frank House and the Seven Bridges of Reguliersgracht. Pass the pretty gabled houses that Amsterdam is so well known for, and cruise underneath the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) while your audio guide informs you of interesting facts and stories. Cruises depart every 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the season.

Sarah_G, Apr 2024

The ice bar was a great experience and it was fab drinking from ice glasses. Unfortunately we were let down by the canal cruise and had to make our own way.

Icebar

Margaret_B, Apr 2024

Ice bar and canal cruise

cara_w, Jan 2024

The events themselves were really enjoyable and booking in advance was better for us. Only thing I would say is when doing the cruise we weren’t told to be there 15 mins before we were due to leave a lot of people including ourselves were disappointed that we had to que for a 30 mins before getting on board

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Cara, Thank you for your lovely review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time at the Icebar. We're doing our best to create a "cool" atmosphere for our guests. We hope you had a lovely cruise as well! Kind regards, Xtracold Icebar Amsterdam&1-hour canal cruise

Ice bar and Canal Cruise

Pauline_B, Oct 2023

Enjoyed the seeing and hearing about the sights we passed on the canal boat. The Xtracold Icebar was great fun. We loved it.

Great drink experience.

Susan_S, Oct 2023

The Icebar was a fun (if very chilli) experience!!!! 😁 The canal cruise was a relaxed way to see a different side of Amsterdam.

Ice bar is a gimmick. Cruise is very nice!!!!

Susie_H, Aug 2023

The ice bar is very hokey. Basically it's a freezer with a couple ornaments and crappy alcohol. The 1 hour cruise was actually great but the ice bar people could not give us proper directions to get to the cruise. They were actually rude and stated it was not their responsibility. Kinda weird when we bought the package together. Even just a sheet of paper with directions would have been fine. We missed out boat but the cruise team put us on the next boat.

The booking did not tell...

Susan_H, May 2023

The booking did not tell you that the canal boat was to sail miles away from the ice bar, this needs to made more clear. We managed to turn up for our ice bar on time thinking the canal cruise was in the same area. To be fair the canal cruise was honoured the following day just needs more clarity

No canal tour!!! Bad combination and no help

Tracy_B, Apr 2023

The ice bar was fine, but the information on how to achieve the tickets and a time for the canal tour were super confusing and we didn't use the canal portion of our tickets because it was too late to go find the ticket office and secure a seat on the canal tour. The two events together were not a convenient or viable option together. We would like a refund.

Ice bar good....bad communication form tour operator and no help when requested

Louise_B, Mar 2023

Ice bar was great but absolutely no instructions on where to go for the canal boat tour. We were sent from pillar to post by other boat companies so gave up as couldn't find it. disappointing

Confusing directions & timeslot

Lauren_K, Feb 2023

The ice bar was very fun, but quick, around 40 minutes in all. However, I was told over the phone to do the canal cruise first and ended up almost missing the time slot for the icebar. The time slot given on the ticket is for the ice bar and to do the canal cruise you must book a time slot yourself. This was not made clear even after I had to call for directions because they weren't included. Sadly, we did not get to do the cruise because it was booked solid once we finished the ice bar! The bar experience alone was not worth the price.

The Information were not...

Leonor_P, Feb 2023

The Information were not correct, it was really difficult to find the Informations. It was not clear.

Great stag do activity

Kerry_H, Feb 2023

Lovely canal tour, loved the fact we could book the canal tour for any day or time as we did the ice bar in the evening and canal tour day after. Staff on both tours were great

disappointed

Derek_R, Jan 2023

We had booked the ice bar and cruise and we had asked the staff on where to get the cruise and nobody could tell us, We would have thought that with this package there would have been someone to take us to wherever the cruise started from.

Great Experience

James_W, Dec 2022

Great time at the ice bar. It's cold but worth the experience. The boat tour was quiet and laid back.

Excellent experience

Kyra_D, Dec 2022

It was a great experience thd ice bar was great, great atmosphere and the cruise was great way to see Amsterdam.

Icy and cool 😁

crystal_m, Nov 2022

Very enjoyable experience even though the ice part is smaller than expected still well worth a visit , the cabal Cruise was very enjoyable too. Good little package.

OK I suppose

Wayne_S, Sep 2022

Very small, thought it would be better - They also need better gloves Experience was good but very quick inside

Disappointing compared to the London Ice Bar

afrawillmore, Sep 2022

Quite fun but nowhere as good as the London Ice bar before it closed. Gloves grabbed off people leaving and puffer jackets with no hoods which didn’t do up mean those unprepared got very cold. Bar cramped and ice dirty, floor sticky. Staff good and drinks nice but didn’t stay long.

Dissatisfied

ElizabethLynn_M, Sep 2022

The ice bar was okay, you were rushed in and out and not really sure what was going on. We wanted to get the photographer to take our picture for a keep safe but we’re told to get out the way as they were filling up so no pictures. Also it was torrential rain so we did not go on the canal tour
