Description
See Wrocław from the ship! A beautiful one-hour cruise on the Oder with a guide. Discover the beauty of the city's monuments from the Oder River. Cruise on a large passenger ship.

All our ships have two decks - one lower deck with a bar where you can buy snacks, hot and cold drinks, beer, salt, coffee and tea, and one upper deck, partially roofed, partially sunny. We sit wherever there are free seats. (There are no seat reservations on ships)
The cruise starts near Cathedral Island - first we admire the wonderful Gothic architecture of the cathedral island. In the distance you can see the mighty towers of the Wrocław Cathedral.

The huge building with a chimney is the former Wrocław waterworks. The guide tells about the last great flood in Wrocław in 1997. The entire city was flooded with a huge wave.
