Set out on one of our most traditional cruises, whose history dates back to the late 19th century. The cruise to Slapy through beautiful nature will bring you a day full of comfort, relaxation and stunning experiences.

You can look forward to views of picturesque countryside, sailing through part of the Vltava cascade and getting to know our historic steamboat Vltava or the boat Cecílie.

We believe this cruise will become a great experience you'll be happy to look back on, and you may even join us for our all-day trip to Mělník.
