It was an extremely pleasant, warm, and peaceful experience. A magnificent romantic night stroll taking in the city and its lights, and the view of Wawel Castle was incredible! Highly recommended and definitely worth doing again!

Quick boarding with the purchased tickets, very beautiful scenery on the Vistula river with this cruise. I recommend other users to try it, they have audio guides and a minibar to purchase snacks!

The boat was nice, the staff welcoming and the offer of blankets was a really noce touch. However, there was not much to see and we were quite disappointed. It was OK value for money given the pleasentness of the boat and the staff but would not do this trip again.

I highly recommend the experience because it is very romantic, sailing very calmly with soft background music on the Vistula River. The ship is large and I recommend going straight to the upper deck to enjoy a better view. The only downside is that the commentary is not in Italian... the boat is equipped with clean restrooms and a small bar.

A very beautiful experience, the service is impeccable, and the view of Krakow is magnificent at night. The Ferris wheel, the balloon, as well as the illuminated bridges light up the city. Worth doing again.

Skip the long lines and hop aboard a comfortable boat to begin your sightseeing cruise along the River Vistula.

Cruise down the longest river in Poland while you experience unique views of Krakow and its attractions.

Sit back and enjoy the journey from the famous Wawel Hill to the Norbertine Monastery and listen to stories of the city with an English or Polish audioguide.

Opt for a 30-minute day time cruise or enjoy the view of the city lit up in beautiful lights at night or in the evening with a complimentary drink and a multilingual audio guide.

Fun fact: Poland's largest river, the Vistula, stretches across 1,047 km entirely within the country's borders!
