The 15 Best Boat Trips in Poland

39 tours  ·  from $9 a head

The Vistula runs through both big cities and the Motława runs through Gdańsk, which is why so many evenings here end on a deck. The 15 below range from a forty-minute city cruise to a full afternoon on the Baltic, each priced and clear about what is served on board.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,913 reviews · 1h 10m · from $22

Cruise Gdańsk’s canals and harbor on a 12-seat wooden boat, with lively history, shipyard views, blankets, and access to narrow waterways.

“This was such a fun activity. First, the meeting spot is such a random and out of the blue location, made it seem more…exciting? Second, there was a delay to the start of our trip but we were kept informed and checked in on. Third, it was fun and I learned a good bit about the city from a super nice guide. Thank you!”

“Interesting morning out. My husband and I were the only 2 on the tour and although we did have audio explanations in English , sadly our guide looked very dissenterested and bored throughout the whole tour, pointing to the next place to go and not talking. The boat expedition is not worth it. Took longer to get into the boat than the journey itself, which was about 15 metres worth. Hence 4 stars.
