Gemma F.
A nice little tour along the river. Short enough free beer and ice cream. You get to see the canals and the main events from the river. def recommend if you don't have too much time. The ladies at the ticket office were extremely rude when we picked up the ticket, really felt like a computer says no situation.

This experience began with an excellent walking tour with expert guide but not overly long explanations. However, when it came time to get the boat we were dropped off in an extremely long queue on the side of a very busy bridge. This wasn't explained very well by our guide. We waited about 40 mins which is the same length of time as the boat trip. The boat trip itself had a lot of repeated info from the walking tour. Overall would have just preferred the walking tour and to book a separate boat trip.

On the whole it was very nice. Competent and friendly guide. Overall very interesting. I deduct one star for the restaurant because it looked very dirty and used, disgusting toilets, unfriendly service, mini portions. I prefer to pay a little more and have a decent atmosphere for it.

Very nice cruise. Welcoming staff. The ticket office for the exchange of tickets is very easy to find: next to the church, a large "museum" sign with stairs. Boarding is done behind the building where we pick up the tickets. You can choose your drink from 3 choices then we will give you a snack + headphones for the audio guide which is available in French. I recommend

It was a very informative and interesting city tour. Prague is a beautiful city and Irina knew how to convey a lot of history in a charming and competent way. The tour was very entertaining. On the way stop at the Lobkowicz Palace Restaurant + Café for a hot drink and the very best homemade apple strudel in Prague. For lunch there were dumplings with goulash and the boat trip on the Vltava brought everything closer from the water's perspective. We recommend ! Thank you and thumbs up!

The audio guide can be improved. An individual guide would be better. Plus the guide did not mentioN all the monuments on the sides of the river, it was very short. I found out after we finished that there was a brochure with much more information that was not distributed among the passengers !!

Lovely way to see Prague at night. Beautiful boat with a glass roof, friendly staff and delicious food served as both a hot and cold buffet. We had a window seat so saw lots of amazing sights and went up to the outside Upper deck which was gorgeous. Drinks were well priced and the service was efficient and attentive Brilliant live band played for us which was really lovely to listen too. I'm not keen on the fact travellers were smoking on the upper deck. I had assumed it was non smoking vesile but it didn't ruin the night.

The tour was great! Our guide was really knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics and his enforcement of only 10 tourists per tour group made the tour feel a lot more personal and organic. It was much better (for us) than the groups of 50+ we passed, who required headsets to listen to their guides. The boat tour was also really nice and we enjoyed our beer and icecream!

For anybody looking to see the best that Prague has to offer, the Vltava River has to be experienced. The longest river in the Czech Republic, the Vltava River is home to a variety of cruises. 

Sometimes there’s just nothing like taking a relaxing and serene boat cruise to make the most out of any sightseeing trip. Today, we want to provide you with an idea of what cruises on Vlatava River entail and what you can expect.

Types of Cruises on the Vlatava River

A large variety of cruise options are available for you on the Vltava River. This includes a variety of shorter trips that only take up a small part of your day, to full-day excursions that combine boat cruises and guided Prague city sightseeing.

Let’s take a look at some of the cruise options available on the Vlatava River.

Lunch and Dinner Cruises

The Vlatava River is the perfect place to take a lunch or dinner cruise, with plenty being offered. For instance, the Vlatava Riverwalk with lunch on an open-top glass boat makes for the perfect midday adventure, complete with awesome sights and even better food. 

If you’d rather see the river and the surrounding area by night, the Crystal Dinner cruise is another fantastic option, one that has you enjoying a three-hour buffet on a modern and stylish boat.

Short Sightseeing Cruises

For those who just want a short sightseeing trip, there are plenty of these options available too, with the 45-minute sightseeing boat trip to Devil’s Channel being one of the most popular.

If 45 minutes isn’t quite enough for you, try the Prague River Boat Cruise and Guided Tour, which lasts for 90 minutes.

Guided tours like these are great for people who want to learn about the history of Prague while getting interesting tidbits of info about all of the sights.

Evening Cruises

For a romantic experience with your partner, an evening cruise is recommended. An evening cruise has you meandering down the Vlatava River while the surrounding area is illuminated by city lights. Evening cruises generally don’t last that long, but they make for the perfect option for a quick trip on the water.

Wooden Raft Cruises

One of the most exciting types of cruises on the Vlatava River is the wooden raft cruise, of which there are a few options to consider. 

For instance, the Cesky Krumlov Advent Wooden Raft River Cruise has you taking a quick 30-minute trip on a unique yet modern wooden raft along with guided commentary. 

A wooden raft tour is a fantastic option for anyone who enjoys a more rustic approach to sightseeing and boat cruising.

All-Day Cruises and Tours

For those who want to take in as much of Prague as possible, going on an all-day Vlatava River cruise and Prague city tour is the way to go. One great example is the six-hour Castle and Jewish Quarter Tour with Cruise and Lunch. There are also half-day guided bus and walking tours of the city, culminating in a peaceful cruise on the Vlatava River.

Duration

Just as there is plenty of variety in terms of Vlatava River cruise pricing, there are also various durations for these cruises.
