Gliding along the Motława River is one of the best ways to experience Gdańsk’s charm and seafaring heritage. From the deck of the boat, the city’s historic waterfront unfolds — a blend of medieval granaries, colorful merchant houses, and iconic landmarks reflected in the calm waters.
The cruise passes by the famous Gdańsk Crane, a medieval port crane that once symbolized the city’s trade power, as well as the charming Long Riverside Promenade. Depending on the route, you might sail out towards Westerplatte, the historic site where WWII began.
Whether by day under the bright Baltic sun or at night with the waterfront lights twinkling, the Motława River offers a magical perspective of the city.
📍 Cruise Highlights:
Gdańsk Crane (Żuraw)
Long Riverside Promenade (Długie Pobrzeże)
Medieval Granaries & Colorful Townhouses
Westerplatte Historical Site (on select routes)
Panoramic Views of the Old Town
💡 Travel Tip: Choose an evening cruise for stunning sunset views and the romantic glow of Gdańsk’s illuminated skyline.
