King's Day in Amsterdam · April 27
Kingsday Escort Amsterdam
April 27 Bookings
On April 27 the Netherlands celebrates the King's birthday, and Amsterdam turns orange from morning to night. Requests for company that day follow three patterns: joining a private canal-boat party (the classic Kingsday experience), a celebration at a private apartment or Airbnb where group and duo bookings are popular, and an overnight at a Centrum boutique hotel once the day winds down. No single day brings more visitors to Amsterdam, so if you want a particular companion or nationality, book one to two weeks ahead. Rates stay at €180 per hour with no Kingsday premium, and WhatsApp is answered 24/7.
Three Ways to Spend Kingsday With a Companion
On a private canal boat
Your companion boards your rented sloep, saloon boat or day yacht for the Kingsday cruise, typically between 10:00 and 18:00 when the canal party is at its height. This is the format requested most. Our boat escort page covers the details, and many groups pair it with duo escorts.
An apartment or Airbnb celebration
She joins your group at the flat you have rented for the day, and bookings for two or more companions are especially common.
An overnight once the party fades
From about 20:00, as the canals empty, guests move to a Centrum boutique hotel for the night. Because Kingsday is the year's busiest day for visitors, early-evening bookings ahead of a departure the next morning are frequent too.
Choosing a Companion for a Festive Kingsday
A warm, celebratory spirit fits the day. For the party atmosphere, guests most often ask for Latin and Mediterranean companions: Brazilian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Spanish or Italian. Visitors from English-speaking countries tend to choose British, American or Dutch women, and a Dutch companion grew up with Kingsday as a national celebration. Guests from Germany, Austria and Switzerland often pick German or Belgian companions, both comfortable in several languages. On a boat party, duos that mix backgrounds, such as Brazilian with Colombian or Italian with French, feel especially natural.
Kingsday Areas: Canal Docks, Hotels and Rentals
The canal belt in Centrum is the heart of the Kingsday cruise, with boat parties leaving from the Damrak, Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht. Your companion meets you at the dock or at your home or boutique hotel in Centrum. Jordaan canal houses are where many apartment and Airbnb parties take place, De Pijp suits a residential evening once the day quietens, and the Apollolaan side of Oud-Zuid offers premium homes for hosting and a night after the canals. On the western waterfront, Houthavens and Westerpark see a newer style of canal party. Arrival normally takes 45 to 60 minutes in Zuid, Centrum and the Jordaan, and planning with us ahead of time still helps on the day.
Kingsday Escort Prices: No Holiday Premium
Kingsday costs the same as any other day, with no premium and no event surcharge. An hour is €180, two €360 and three €540; the three-hour dinner date costs €540, an overnight €1250 and a 24-hour weekend €2500. Duos are €360 per hour and are the format booked most for boat parties and Airbnb celebrations with more than one companion. On a charter, each companion is charged at the standard rate, while the boat itself is a separate cost you usually arrange directly with the operator.
Availability on Kingsday: Book Ahead or Same Day
Since Kingsday sees more visitors than any other day of the year, companions are booked up faster than on any other date. Reserve one to two weeks ahead for a specific companion or nationality, and for duo or boat-party bookings. Same-day requests are still possible from the wider Latin and Mediterranean group, usually with an arrival time of 45 to 60 minutes. For three or more companions at an Airbnb party or on a large charter, two weeks or more is strongly advised.
How to Book Your Kingsday Companion
Send a WhatsApp message with the kind of booking (boat party, Airbnb celebration, overnight or dinner date), the date and time, how many companions you would like (one to six is typical), the mix of nationalities you prefer and the address, whether a home, an Airbnb, a hotel or the dock where your boat leaves. We confirm within minutes at any hour. Planning a group trip? See our bachelor party escort page, our Kingsday escort article, or the 420 escort guide for the week before.
