Overview

Come with us on a short cruise on the Vistula River on a modern glass boat in a cozy atmosphere and admire many of Krakow's attractions along the way. Enjoy a tour that offers a whole new way to experience the city from its less touristic side.
Be close to nature and be sure that you are sailing in a very safe boat and the heated interiors and comfortable leather sofas will make you feel at home even on cold days. On warmer days, we invite you to our observation deck to enjoy the charming Krakow and spend time outdoors.

    What To Expect

    Vistula River

    Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula, you have the opportunity to see (some from a distance, others up close) some of Krakow's monuments, visible from the river, that you did not see while walking around the city. Even the well-known Wawel looks different from the water. Admire all the most important places in Krakow from the Vistula River. See Krakow from a new perspective as you follow the flow of the queen of Polish rivers.

    Monastery of the Norbertan Sisters (Pass By)

    One of the largest historic complexes in the city is situated on the picturesque Vistula embankment. It is the monastery and seat of the Krakow Norbertine Sisters - one of the oldest religious congregations in Poland. Centuries ago, the order received excellent daughters from noble and princely families, it managed numerous lands, and the monastery - thanks to its strategic location - was of great importance for the defense of Krakow. The history of the Norbertine monastic complex is strongly marked by invasions and sieges, starting with the Tatar invasions in the 13th century. The colorful Krakow legend of the Lajkonik is associated with the Tatar invaders. It was the beginning of the traditional procession that sets off every year from the convent's courtyard one week after the Corpus Christi.

    Cricoteka - Centre for Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor (Pass By)

    Another building that stands out against the background of Krakow buildings, with a complicated graphic line and many symbolic meanings, is associated with the name of the artist Tadeusz Kantor. As requested by the artist, the building served as a museum, archive, art gallery and research center from the very beginning. It was created by combining the historic buildings of the former power plant and a modern gallery building, 20 m high above the power plant, made of seemingly rusty metal, stairs and strange lumps. The lower surface of the gallery has a mirror-like surface reflecting the roofs of the power plant below the buildings and the surrounding entertainment area.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Panorama of Krakow from the Vistula River during an hour-long cruise?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
