Why take a Prague cruise
What to expect on a Prague cruise
Arrive at the boarding pier along the Vltava River, scan your mobile ticket, and step aboard a glass-covered boat or open-deck vessel. Choose your seat — an outdoor spot with fresh views or a cozy indoor table with panoramic windows.
As the cruise begins, you’ll drift past Prague’s most iconic landmarks, including the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, Rudolfinum Concert Hall, and the National Theatre. Sightseeing and day cruises often include audio commentary or live guides sharing historic insights and fun facts about Prague’s architecture, royal past, and legends.
Dinner cruises add atmosphere with buffet-style dining, candlelit tables, and live music as the city lights illuminate bridges and towers reflected beautifully on the Vltava. Expect gentle sailing, comfortable seating, and plenty of time for photos — especially at sunset.
After completing your loop along central Prague’s waterfront, the boat returns to the same pier, leaving you with a peaceful and memorable riverside experience.
