A 60-minute cruise will allow you to see practically the entire city from the river’s perspective.

The castle of Polish kings, located on the Vistula River, has been attracting crowds of tourists for years and remains an unparalleled monument to our history. The cathedral, royal tombs, the Sigismund Bell or the fire-breathing dragon – these are objects known to almost every Pole.

Monastery of the Norbertine Sisters –

The Monastery of the Norbertine Sisters is another perfectly preserved monument of Krakow. St. Augustine and St. John the Baptist and the adjoining Norbertine nunnery constitute the largest historic complex of the city after Wawel.

 It was founded in the 12th century and founded by the then prince Władysław II. The monastery functions to this day and at the same time it is the oldest female order in Poland. Due to the nature of the operation of the monastery, you cannot visit it from the inside, and only during our cruise we can admire its walls and internal buildings from the perspective of the Vistula River.

St. Michael the Archangel and St. Stanislaus the Bishop –

St. Michael the Archangel and St. Stanisław Bishop in Krakow is another medieval building of historical importance. It also plays the role of the National Pantheon, i.e. the resting place of the most outstanding creators of national art, culture and science. This 14th century cathedral, commonly known as the Skałka or the Church on Skałka by Cracovians – the name comes from the location of the Cathedral, is associated with one interesting legend that we will certainly tell you about during the cruise.

Wawel Dragon –

Of course, our cruise could not miss the showpiece of our city – the Wawel Dragon. It is a monument referring to the famous Krakow legend about the dragon, which was to terrorize the then townspeople. The monument related to the monument is the dragon’s den, which is located near the dragon. It is a place that you can enter, so it is worth going there after the cruise. Krakow legends associated with the Wawel Dragon and with Wawel itself are interesting stories that are liked by our youngest customers.
