Amsterdam
WorldPride 2026

Your adventure begins in style at the Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American — a stunning Art Deco gem and one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful heritage hotels. With its soaring ceilings, glamorous interiors, and a location that puts you right in the heart of the action, you couldn’t be better placed for the week ahead.
 
After settling into your room and soaking it all in, we’ll come together for our official Welcome Party at The Secret Garden — a gorgeous, super-sexy hidden restaurant. Step inside and you’ll be transported to a fantasy world of lush greenery, glamour, and bold interior design. Over the next three hours, we’ll enjoy a delicious Asian-fusion banquet, accompanied by included free-flowing drinks to get the party started. It's the perfect setting to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones.

And when the final course is cleared? The night is still young. Just beyond the doors, Amsterdam’s iconic Pride street parties are waiting. Lights, camera, action  (D)

Today, the entire city becomes our dance floor. It’s Canal Parade day and there’s no other celebration in the world quite like it. The streets will be buzzing, the bridges packed with revellers, and the energy electric.

As a special VIP inclusion, you'll have front-row seats to the iconic Canal Parade aboard one of our two private boats. Enjoy uninterrupted views, unlimited drinks, tasty snacks, and private bathroom access so you never have to queue.

When the sun goes down, head to Dam Square's massive free after-party with live DJs or turn it all the way up at Funhouse XXL, one of Europe’s biggest circuit parties.

After a weekend of sequins, street parties and dancing till dawn (and let’s be honest — some of you may still be partying), today is all about rest and recovery. But as we all know, the best cure for the night before is a little hair of the dog… and pizza.

This afternoon, we’ll board our private Pizza & Beer Booze Cruise through the beautiful canals with our local skipper sharing stories along the way. All you need to do is sit back, enjoy the views, and indulge in unlimited beer, wine, and delicious pizza.

Afterward, the choice is yours: keep the party going at the legendary Rapido Dance Party or do as the locals do and relax in Vondelpark to recover in style.

There’s no better way to explore Amsterdam than by bike — it’s how the locals do it, and today you will too. We’ll hop on classic Dutch “oma fietsen” (granny bikes) and cycle through the city’s cobbled lanes, leafy parks, and alongside those iconic canals, led by one of our favourite local guides who’ll bring the stories of the city to life.

Over a gentle 2.5 hours, we’ll cruise past the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, drawbridges, secret courtyards, Jordaan, and Vondelpark. As night falls, we’re heading into the Red Light District for Category: Eleganza Extravaganza! At Paleis van de Weemoed, you’ll enjoy a three-course feast, 4 hours of open bar, and a full-blown drag spectacle with live vocals and lip-syncs, fully reserved just for us.

Today, we’ll explore the rich and complex LGBTQI+ history of Amsterdam on foot, guided by a local specialist. Amsterdam may have been the first city in the world to legalise same-sex marriage, but the city’s queer story goes much deeper — from centuries-old safe spaces and early activism to the renowned Pride scene of today. Along the way, we’ll visit several key locations connected to the fight for acceptance and equality, hearing the stories of those who helped shape this incredible journey.

We’ll finish the tour at the Anne Frank House with an included self-guided audio tour through one of Europe's most important historical sites — a powerful reminder of human rights. Afterwards, the afternoon is yours to reflect before we head to Museumplein with your included tickets for the Opening UNITY Concert at Pride Village.

Ready for some fresh air, big skies, and a real taste of the Netherlands? Today we’re leaving the city behind for an awesome e-bike adventure through the postcard-perfect Dutch countryside — we've got a feeling you're going to love today!

First stop: the ridiculously charming village of Edam with its canals and cobblestones. Next, we'll visit a working windmill to meet Tom the miller before rolling into Volendam, a seaside town packed with colourful houses and sun-drenched terraces. On the way back, we’ll stop in Monnickendam to meet Steven — cheese maker, clog carver, and local legend — who will host us for a light lunch paired with locally crafted beers.

Babes, we’re off to Brussels! This morning, we’re hopping aboard the Eurostar, bound for Belgium. In under two hours, we’ll roll into the heart of the city, ready for a day of iconic sights, indulgent bites, and a few cheeky surprises along the way.

Our local guides will meet us for a relaxed walking tour covering the magnificent Grand Place, Galeries Royales, the Stock Exchange, and Manneken Pis. We’ll also explore Rue du Marché au Charbon — Brussels’ rainbow strip and home to the Rainbow House. Then, we’ll stop for lunch at Chez Léon, a Brussels institution, for famous moules-frites paired with drinks before returning to Amsterdam just in time for Pride Village. (B/L)

This morning it’s time for some culture — with a beer or two to follow. We’ll begin with a private guided tour of the world-famous Rijksmuseum, led by one of the museum’s expert guides. They’ll bring the masterpieces to life as we explore the stunning galleries of this iconic Dutch treasure.

You’ll see Rembrandt’s masterpiece The Night Watch, works by Vermeer, and early pieces by Van Gogh. Enjoy free time for lunch in the super-cool De Pijp district, then head to the iconic Heineken Experience with priority access, finishing at their exclusive rooftop bar. To round off the night, we’ve secured VIB seats (Very Important Bums) at Boom Chicago Comedy Club for an unpredictable, hilarious night of improv.

This afternoon, we’ll head to Amsterdam Noord — the city’s creative, industrial-cool answer to Brooklyn — starting with a cheeky Silent Disco walk through the neighbourhood. Our main event takes place at Hangar, a stunning waterfront beach club right on the IJ River. Expect Riviera vibes, drinks, dancing, a delicious long lunch, and plenty of surprises. Afterwards, head back for the Closing Concert at Museumplein or hit the clubs for one last dance!

It’s our final full day together — and we’re going out in true Hermes Holidays style.

After a final breakfast together at the hotel, your time in Amsterdam comes to an end. But the friendships, the memories, and the glitter will last long after you return home. Until next time…

It’s time to say goodbye — for now.
