If you’ve ever dreamed of doing Pride on a truly global scale, Amsterdam WorldPride 2026 is the moment to make it happen. For ten glorious days, the city turns into a carnival of queer joy, shimmering canal parades, late-night street parties and more rainbow flags than your camera roll will know what to do with. And if you’re thinking of making the pilgrimage, Hermes Holidays has put together a package that doesn’t just take you there, it wraps you up in the best the city has to offer and hands you the keys to the party.
You’ll be staying right in the centre of Amsterdam, where the streets hum with energy and you’re never more than a few steps from a cocktail, a drag show or a spontaneous dance-off. The trip opens with a lush welcome dinner at The Secret Garden, setting the tone for the week ahead – good food, flowing drinks and a crowd of friendly faces who’ll probably feel like old mates by day two.
Of course, the real centrepiece is the world-famous Canal Parade, and Hermes don’t do things halfway. Instead of jostling on the pavement for a glimpse, you’ll board a private boat with front-row views, room to breathe and all the drinks you can handle. It’s one of those “I’ll remember this for years” moments, the sort of scene that makes you suddenly very grateful your phone has unlimited storage.
But it’s not just a party marathon. Hermes has woven in space to actually experience Amsterdam, not just survive it. There’s time to explore the city’s queer history, wander through its museums, cruise along the canals with a beer in hand or hop on a bike and discover why the Dutch always look so annoyingly serene. And yes, there are built-in rest days, because even the most committed Pride warrior deserves a breather.
As the week builds to its finale, you’ll head north to a beach club for one last hurrah – think sunshine, music, dancing and the kind of bittersweet “do we really have to leave?” energy that only a great trip can create.
