The tours were sailed by our trusted skippers: Paap, Deep, and Marcus. Were you among those who joined us on glittering canals? If so, we hope you had an unforgettable time.\u00a0One couple in particular had an especially memorable cruise with us. On January 1st, we were honored to assist with a wedding proposal on board!! We took a small detour to the famous skinny bridge, which is known to bring everlasting love to those who share a kiss there. Spoiler alert: she said yes.\u00a0To commemorate the last day of the Light Festival, we sailed the canals with our whole family. It was a cozy and special way to end the season.\u00a0<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"575\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-6.19.52-PM-768x575.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-6.19.52-PM-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-6.19.52-PM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-6.19.52-PM-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-6.19.52-PM.png 847w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Edition 12 highlights&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>This year&#8217;s light art installations were some of the best we have ever seen from the festival. The theme for the 12th edition was &#8220;LOADING&#8230;Revealing Art, AI and Tech&#8221;, which we found to be poignant for these fast tech-heavy times.<\/p>\n<p>Artists this year were asked to &#8220;consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives&#8221;. We think they all nailed it.<\/p>\n<p>We were impressed by each one we sailed past and found it hard to pick a favorite. We narrowed it down to our top five, which are pictured in order of mention below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Artwork: <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamlightfestival.com\/en\/artworks\/is-it-really-you\">IS IT REALLY YOU?<\/a><br \/>This one interests us because of how the artist incorporates vibrant colors and movement.<\/li>\n<li>Artwork: <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamlightfestival.com\/en\/artworks\/chairwave\">CHAIRWAVE<\/a>This artwork incorporates chairs that light up and move up when you stand up, mimicking the wave they do in stadiums to cheer the soccer players.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Artwork: <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamlightfestival.com\/en\/artworks\/next-connection\">NEXT CONNECTION<\/a><br \/>This one stood out to us because it represents the feeling of instant connection to another person.

When you stood on the platform, it looked like the space was bigger underneath and above you.<\/li>\n<li>Artwork: <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamlightfestival.com\/en\/artworks\/phyllotaxis\">PHYLLOTAXIS<\/a><br \/>The word that comes to mind for this installation is mesmerizing.

Skipper Paap is such a pro. He always knows the best routes and is an encyclopedia of info about not only Amsterdam itself but also the Amsterdam Light Festival.
