Gdansk: Guided Round-Trip Cruise to Westerplatte

1.Guided Round-Trip Cruise to Westerplatte

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

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.”

The tour was fascinating and covered a decent amount of information over a couple of hours. Though a heavy and very serious subject the tour was hugely enjoyable and fascinating.”
