Warsaw Vistula River Sunset Cruise with Welcome Drink
Description
Hop on the Galar Wiślany, a traditional wooden ship featuring two decks – one indoor and one outdoor – ensuring a pleasant experience regardless of weather conditions. Begin the cruise journey at the Warsaw Mermaid Monument, taking you along boulevards, under three bridges, and up to the Old Town. Sailing on the Vistula, pass by the Copernicus Science Center, the Museum of Modern Art, the entrance to the Port of Prague, and the remarkably lush and untamed right bank of Warsaw, a rarity in Europe, leading all the way to the New and Old Towns. On the way back, glide past the National Stadium and the iconic Poniatówka beach, and see a deserted island in the middle of the city.

Fun cruise. Cool vintage wooden boat. Staff very nice. We did the sunset at 8pm and was beautiful. Definitely recommend
A very nice little cruise, our captain (a lady) was very skilled and friendly. The glass of prosecco was nicely chilled. We were able to enjoy beautiful views, and even spotted a family of wild boars on the bank! A beautiful sunset as well. A lovely moment of sailing on a very well-decorated boat.
The cruise was cancelled, they are to refund my money.
This one hour river cruise is excellent. The beautiful views of the city from a standpoint not seen otherwise, it’s a must do! Our cruise was on an extremely cold evening, so we were the only ones on the boat! Yet, despite having only the two of us, our guide shared her knowledge of the city and its sites in a way that communicated her love for Warsaw. We would absolutely do this again!
This boat cruise was great - the captain of the small boat was very nice, his name is Karol (Carlos in Polish) and he was very entertaining, there were only 8 of us in the boat and one of the passengers was celebrating her birthday so he played his piccolo trumpet a Birthday Song 🥰 The Prosecco welcome drink was a nice touch too. The cruise itself is exactly one hour, Vistula lake was very relaxing - I recommend this boat cruise.
Wow ...that's an hour of my life I'll never get back. Nothing informational offered, no introduction, no safety. The staff member pouring the free prosecco stuck his fingers directly in the plastic glass before he poured it and gave it to guests. My glass had lipstick residual on it so I took a pass. The guy at the helm spent the trip watching YouTube videos on his phone. I've taken several "sunset cruises" all over the globe; this was the worst.
There wasn’t much to see during the boat trip. It went in the direction away from the city, so apart from trees and a few locals barbecuing on the shore, there was nothing of interest. I also found the driver reckless and inattentive — he was scrolling on his phone the entire ride. On our way back, he ran over a rock or something similar, briefly panicked, and paid attention for about two minutes before going back to his phone. The boat also smelled like burned fuel — not pleasant at all.
Beautiful evening ride on the Vistula as the sun set over the water. Lovely boat, great Captain Stephen, and a fun group.
