I have to say it was a truly delightful experience. The evening atmosphere is very charming: soft lighting, reflections on the water, and a sense of tranquility that lets you completely disconnect from your daily routine. The pace of the cruise is perfect for enjoying the moment without rushing, whether you’re with friends or simply taking some time for yourself.

The ferry was very nice and cozy. The views around the river were worth it and we were able to take fun pictures. Thanks to the guide's explanations we learned about curiosities and key points of the city. And besides, we were lucky enough to make a couple of friends to hang out with on the cruise and go out with afterwards! I highly recommend the experience and would choose it again.

You don't need to get much expectation. Night Krakow scene from the river. Wawel Castle is the most beautiful part, also other places are described within 4 languages. Snack and drink bar in the boat is nice. Spaces are large and also have an open view upstairs. I like it for relax, scenery, beer. Nice tour.

Very relaxing nighttime cruise on Wisla river. Enjoyed some relaxing time with family. The cruise took about an hour (as advertised) with guide pointing out some key locations along the way in both Polish and English. We will defintely plan to take daytime cruise next time we visit Krakow.

The views on the river at night

Hop aboard a cruise and make your way westward on the Vistula River, the lifeblood of Poland. Along the way, you will get to see highlights of Krakow and its surrounding areas. The 60-minute journey will take you past the city's lesser-known locations, including the 15th-century Camaldolese Hermit Monastery. Starting from the Old Town, weave your way through the Wawel Royal Castle and sail downriver to areas that most tourists usually don't get the chance to see during their time in Krakow.
