Gdansk: City Cruise on Historical Polish Boat

1.City Cruise on Historical Polish Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,913 reviews · 1h 10m · from $22Our pick

Set out from Gdańsk’s former shipyard on a 12-seat wooden replica of an 18th-century Polish river boat. Over 70 minutes, an English- or Polish-speaking guide such as Borna, Szymon, or Danusia covers the port, Old Town, Solidarity, WWII submarine production, and canals too narrow for big boats. Blankets and umbrellas are provided.

“This was such a fun activity. First, the meeting spot is such a random and out of the blue location, made it seem more…exciting? Second, there was a delay to the start of our trip but we were kept informed and checked in on. Third, it was fun and I learned a good bit about the city from a super nice guide. Thank you!”

Gdansk: Guided Round-Trip Cruise to Westerplatte

3.Guided Round-Trip Cruise to Westerplatte

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 865 reviews · 1h 20m · from $33

Spend 80 minutes aboard a galleon-style boat sailing from Gdańsk’s Długie Pobrzeże through the port, shipyard, and past Wisłoujście Fortress to Westerplatte and back. A guide speaks Polish, English, and German. Live music plays on the return, and the onboard bar serves hot and cold drinks plus snacks. This scheduled trip is normally non-stop, so confirm any Westerplatte stop before booking.

“Crew was really nice and loved to also see the industrial side of Gdansk while going to western platter. The Guide was great and described us the different places and it’s history. I was very impressed as well as from the food and beverages served at the bar. Being in such a ship was an experience of it own and definitely worth it and the time slot in western platter was more than enough.😁 To the overall great experience the live music while going back was very charming. So 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s staying in Gdańsk.”

Maybe the maximum amount of 12 people should be changed to 10 for better comfort, but it was fine this time. The entrance should be a little bit more clear though! We found it by luck :-) Those are small details. We had a great time! Thank you!”

7.Yacht Cruise Around the Bay with Welcome Drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 231 reviews · 50 - 105 minutes · from $26

Join Premium Yachting at Sopot Marina for a relaxed 50 to 105 minute cruise on a two-deck sailing yacht. You can help steer, ask the skipper about sailing, and enjoy views toward Orłowo, Gdańsk, or the Gulf of Gdańsk. Prosecco is served from spring through September, with mulled wine in the colder months.

“I had a lovely time. It's a perfect activity to spend a couple of hours. You can stay and chat at the back of the yacht, you'll learn lots about sailing etc as the skipper is happy to answer questions. You can also move to the front, where it's quieter and just enjoy the gentle rocking of the yacht and stunning views. If you're looking for a high adrenaline, alcohol fuelled fun this one is probably not for you. But if you need a couple of hours to decompress and chill, I can't imagine a better place to be.”
