Discover the magic of Amsterdam from the water with De Vereenigde Amsterdamsche Reederij – a true Amsterdam family business where hospitality, craftsmanship, and a love for the city come together.
With their 4 characterful ships – Salonboot Valentijn, Soeverein, Prins van Oranje and MS De Jordaan – you are very welcome for an unforgettable experience on the canals and the surrounding waters .
The heart of the shipping company
Day-to-day management is in the hands of Boudie Keijzer and her partner Olav van den Broek, who together form the heart and soul of the shipping company. Boudie is the Executive Chef, responsible for the culinary refinement on board, while Olav, as chief captain, not only holds the helm firmly but also ensures that every technical detail is perfect.
Petra Ruijs, Boudie's mother, proudly captains the MS De Jordaan – Amsterdam's party boat, full of music and fun. And behind the scenes, Maarten Cuppen, Boudie's stepfather, keeps the back office on course with a steady hand.
What sets this top-notch team apart? Not just the quality of their ships and service, but especially the personal attention and warmth with which they handle every voyage.
The shipping company where every voyage is a party!
Whether you choose an intimate dinner on Valentine's Day, a Music Dinner Cruise on the Soeverein, a true Amsterdam party on MS De Jordaan, or a wedding or corporate event on the stately Prins van Oranje – every trip is carefully prepared and executed with a smile.
And as a loyal companion? Ship's dog Jip, who always watches over the fleet when Boudie and Olav are off board.
Step aboard and experience why guests return again and again.
Welcome to the United Amsterdam Shipping Company – where sailing is a celebration!
