Cheese Fondue

The mountains to the canal

A cheese fondue on board an Amsterdam boat: as far as we know, we are the only shipping company in the city that offers this to such perfection. We bring the Alpine atmosphere to the canals — real fondue from caquelons, a steaming pot of cheese on the table, and the coziness that only fondue provides. An après-ski evening, but cruising through Amsterdam. A real cheese mix, not a packet

The cheese is a mix curated by Vincent Traiteur & Slagerij — not pre-packaged fondue cheese from the supermarket, but our own blend of high-quality cheeses. We serve this with cold cuts, vegetables, and fresh bread for dipping.

On the Prince and the Halve Maen

Cheese fondue is available on two of our ships. On the Prince of New Amsterdam, you dine at tables for two, for an intimate gathering of up to 8 people. On the Halve Maen, we serve cheese fondue at the large table in the salon and at the table in the circular seating area, for groups of up to 30 people.

High-quality drinks

During your cruise, you can choose from one of our four drinks packages — featuring fine wines, beer, soft drinks, and cocktails from our own bar. For those who want more, we offer a selection of fine wines by the bottle, including several that pair perfectly with cheese fondue. Additionally, we carry the most extensive champagne list of any Amsterdam shipping company. Wines by the bottle and champagne can be ordered in advance, and all drinks are served in high-quality glassware.

Boarding and disembarking throughout Amsterdam

We will pick you up at virtually any official boarding or disembarking pier in Amsterdam — close to home, a hotel, or a pre-arranged location. You can find an overview on our Boarding locations page.
