WorldPride Amsterdam is coming.
Everyone's welcome aboard.
Your Boatsuite on houseboat Kadans, KNSM Island, Amsterdam
A warm welcome, from Renske & Tim
For two weeks this summer, Amsterdam turns into the most colourful city on earth. WorldPride 2026 is expected to draw around 500,000 visitors from all over the world to celebrate love, freedom and each other — and we can't wait to welcome you aboard Kadans, our houseboat on the peaceful KNSM Island. Whoever you are, whoever you love: there's a warm bed, a private terrace and a genuine welcome waiting for you here.
— Renske & Tim
Why stay with us during WorldPride
Your own private terrace
Watch the flags go by from your own deck — the best spot to unwind after a big day of parades and parties.
Peaceful, yet close to everything
A quiet retreat on the water, just a short tram or ferry ride from the Canal Parade route and the city centre.
Hosted by us, personally
We're not a hotel chain. We're Renske and Tim — local tips, fast answers, and a warm welcome, always.
A truly unique place to sleep
Wake up on the water in a beautifully renovated, modern boat suite — the story you'll tell everyone back home.
Jump straight in
Fancy a swim or a paddleboard session between events? Jump right off the boat — ask Tim, he'll set you up.
Spotless and thoughtful
A comfortable king-size bed, your own private bathroom, and all the little extras waiting for you.

Getting to the parade from Kadans
From Levantkade on KNSM Island, it's about 20 minutes by tram or ferry to Amsterdam Central Station and the city centre, where most of the Canal Parade and street parties take place. Prefer to cycle? Grab a bike and you'll be right in the middle of it in about 15 minutes.
Everyone is welcome, always
WorldPride Amsterdam 2026 carries the theme UNITY — its kaleidoscope logo weaves together Dutch, Caribbean, Indonesian, Moroccan and Turkish motifs to show that every culture, and every person, is part of the whole. That's exactly what Amsterdam BB stands for too. Our home is a home before it's a business — and in our home, everyone is welcome exactly as they are. We host solo travellers, couples, chosen family, and everyone in between, and we're proud to open our doors during WorldPride to celebrate a city, and a world, where love is love. We've also completed Booking.com's Travel Proud training and are Proud Certified, so you know this isn't just words. If there's anything that would make your stay more comfortable, just tell us — that's what we're here for.
What our guests say
“The stay on the boat was by far my favourite experience in Amsterdam!”
“Waking up on the canal felt magical.”
“The perfect houseboat for couples — a real home away from home, but even more romantic.”
Book before it's gone
WorldPride is expected to be the biggest LGBTQ+ event in the world in 2026 — around 500,000 visitors, and only one Boat Suite aboard Kadans. If these dates matter to you, book sooner rather than later.
