Book your 1- or 2-hour cruise and make your own way to the cruise departure point on the Vltava River in central Prague. Settle on your boat and look forward to the sights ahead. Both cruises start and finish at the same point, but the 2-hour cruise takes you further south along the Vltava. You can buy on-board refreshments on both cruises. Audio commentary is provided on the 1-hour cruise, but not on the 2-hour trip.
1-Hour Cruise
Cruise the Vltava River through Prague’s stunning medieval center and listen to the absorbing audio commentary as you pass a non-stop parade of monuments and sights. Admire the huge, hilltop complex of Prague Castle pierced by the spires of St Vitus Cathedral, and float under the stunning Charles Bridge, the 14th-century stone bridge that is perhaps Prague’s most celebrated medieval structure. Sit back and enjoy fabulous views of plenty of other sights, including the elegant National Theatre, Old Town Bridge Tower, the Rudolfinum and Prague Metronome, a huge steel sculpture that stands high above the city from a hill in Letná Park. Then, return to the start point where your trip ends.
2-Hour Cruise
Sail past the famous sights of central Prague as on the 1-hour cruise and then continue further southward along the Vltava to see some of the city’s lesser-known sights. As the tightly packed medieval buildings of the center thin out, drift under the Jirásek and Palacký Bridges and enjoy the panoramic views as they open out along the river. Sail through the Smichov Canal Lock, the oldest on the Vltava, and admire the Vyšehrad Citadel looming above the river. Look, too, for the modern Dancing House — the curves of which inspired the nickname ‘Fred and Ginger’ after the iconic dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers — and other notable sights before your cruise ends at the start point.
