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!”

“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.”
