Pier Rašínovo nábřeží

Notice: Due to the closure of the Mánes lock, the one-hour cruise on the Vltava is temporarily operating on an alternative route. From Rašínovo nábřeží, the cruise continues past the Dancing House, Vyšehrad and Žluté lázně, beneath Dvorecký Bridge to Barrandov Bridge and back. Commentary is not available on the alternative route. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Want to see historic Prague in a single hour in complete comfort? If so, our hour-long cruise through Prague is just for you — from the deck of our boats and steamboats you'll see the city's most famous landmarks.
