Fantastic hosts and boat captain - enjoyed every second of seeing this part of krakow in a different way! Don’t let this cold time of year deter you from enjoying this experience - the lower part of the boat is closed deck and has blankets and cushions to keep you warm - and also a heater to help more. Would definitely recommend - thank you for a fun experience and all the best!

The boat is brand new and very chic. The journey takes about an hour. We started at 4 p.m. and were already able to admire the fantastic illumination of the Altsradt and the Cracow Eye. The very sympathetic captain complements the trip with detailed information and anecdotes in Polish and English. It was comfortably warm inside the boat. But you should also climb onto the roof and take a particularly beautiful photo of the Wawel Castle complex. Soft drinks were also included. Krakow is beautiful!

It was really very nice and romantic. We were warmly welcomed by the organizer who is very nice and cheerful. There was a warm decoration on the occasion of Christmas. The very helpful captain told us the history of Krakow during the cruise. We were at night so the visibility was sometimes lacking but that gave another charm to this unique moment. thank you to the cracow boat team and see you very soon on the Vistula
