Warsaw Vistula River Cruise on a Traditional Wooden Boat
Overview
See Warsaw from the river on a 55-minute cruise aboard the Galar Wiślany, a traditional wooden boat with an open-air deck and a covered deck. Groups are small – never more than 11 guests, and many say their skipper's stories about Warsaw were a highlight of the trip.
From the Dworzec Wodny barge in Powiśle, sail along the Vistula boulevards to the Old and New Towns. You'll pass the Copernicus Science Centre, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the old Praga Port, with the wild, green right bank across the river – a rare sight in a European capital. On the way back, glide past the National Stadium, Poniatówka Beach and a small, wild island in the middle of the river. Along the way, you pass under 5 bridges.
