Prague is a city that has inspired poets, artists, and travelers for centuries. Its history whispers from every corner, and its beauty dazzles in every season. But there’s a special kind of magic that comes alive when you leave the cobbled streets behind and step aboard a boat gliding gently down the Vltava River.
The Sightseeing Cruise with Commentary is an experience designed for those who wish to see the city’s most iconic sights while also learning about the fascinating stories that shaped Prague into the “City of a Hundred Spires.” Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning admirer, this 50-minute cruise will reveal new perspectives and charming details that you might miss from land.
A Floating Perspective on Prague
As your boat sets off from the heart of the city, you’ll feel the gentle motion of the Vltava beneath you. The river has been the lifeblood of Prague for centuries, flowing past medieval bridges, elegant palaces, and bustling squares. Onboard, you’ll discover how the waterway connects not only places but also eras—offering glimpses into Prague’s medieval past and its vibrant present.
Your journey begins with a view of the Charles Bridge—a symbol of Prague’s enduring spirit. Built in the 14th century, this grand stone bridge has witnessed countless chapters in the city’s history. From your vantage point on the river, you’ll see the bridge’s Gothic towers and statues in a whole new light, framed by the gentle ripples of the water below.
See the Crown Jewel: Prague Castle
No cruise along the Vltava would be complete without the sight of Prague Castle dominating the skyline. This ancient complex, perched high above the city, is the largest castle in the world and a powerful symbol of Czech history.
As your boat glides along the river, the castle’s towers and spires seem to rise from the hills, a breathtaking sight that’s even more magnificent from the deck of your vessel. With the commentary guiding you, you’ll learn about the castle’s thousand-year story—its role as a seat of power, a center of culture, and a living testament to Czech pride.
Comfortable Sightseeing for All
This 50-minute cruise is designed to be a relaxing and inclusive experience. There’s no need to worry about navigating crowded streets or hurrying from one monument to the next. Instead, simply find a comfortable spot on deck, lean back, and let the city’s grandeur come to you.
Families with young children will especially appreciate the gentle pace of the cruise, which allows little ones to stay engaged without becoming tired or overwhelmed. Couples and solo travelers, meanwhile, will find the cruise to be a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
The Power of Stories: Live Commentary in 8 Languages
What makes this cruise truly special is the rich commentary that accompanies your journey. Available in eight languages—including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Czech—it brings the city’s history to life in a way that’s both engaging and accessible.
As you drift beneath bridges and alongside riverbanks, the commentary will weave a tapestry of legends, historical events, and architectural wonders. You’ll hear tales of the kings and emperors who once ruled from Prague Castle, of the medieval merchants who built the city’s fortunes, and of the artists who found inspiration in Prague’s timeless beauty.
Each story adds a new layer of meaning to the sights before you—making the cruise not just a scenic tour, but a cultural journey that deepens your connection to the city.
Iconic Sights from a Unique Vantage Point
The route of the cruise is carefully curated to showcase Prague’s most beloved landmarks from the water. Beyond Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, you’ll pass by:
- The National Theatre – A masterpiece of Czech culture, this grand building reflects in the Vltava’s waters with an air of elegance.
- Kampa Island – A serene oasis in the middle of the river, where leafy trees and historic buildings create a charming riverside scene.
