Is there a combo ticket that just includes Rijksmuseum, city transportation and a canal boat ride? We would like to do these in a 24 hour (Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon) time frame before our cruise. Thanks.

Pre-pandemic there was not a package as you requested. There is a TI just across the street from the train station so you could make an inquiry there but I doubt if such a package exists.

I’m afraid there really isn’t a market for this specific combination of sights. Yes, there still is something called the Amsterdam City Card, but it will be much more expensive than buying single tickets.
Also where are you staying? The historical city center of Amsterdam is compact and walkable. You may not even need to use public transport, let alone a day pass.

To add to Dutch_traveler's post (and I don't see any sort of combo pass for JUST the activities you list either), be aware that a tourist card doesn't allow you anytime entry to the Rijksmuseum. You must still reserve a specific day/time slot for even if using a pass. As the museum's website states:
"Only Friends of the museum (a yearly membership) can come when they want without making a booking."

The " I am Amsterdam" card site states that an advance reservation is mandatory:
https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/whats-on/calendar/museums-and-galleries/museums/rijksmuseum
So, if you want to visit, I'd suggest scrapping the card idea and just buying advance, timed-entry tickets:

As Dutch_traveler also said, Amsterdam is a great walking city! We spent 6 days there, only used public transport once, and that was to Centrale with our luggage to get a train to the airport. I would assume that you're staying somewhere in the general city center? As far as a canal cruise, we didn't book one in advance (can't remember which one we used) but it may be best to do so if time is short. I'm sure someone can suggest a good one to book with?

Thanks, everyone! We couldn't find a pass with just those mentioned. So we will go ahead and reserve the Rijksmuseum, and wait for the transportation pass and canal boat ride. We are staying at a Hotel just across from Central Station, but one us has some mobility issues so the transportation will probably be necessary.
