Additional Information

Experience Warsaw’s sights from our vintage style vessels, where we’ll introduce you to various attractions like the Copernicus Science Center, the iconic Warsaw Mermaid, the landscapes of Old and New Towns, the National Stadium, the verdant parks and areas along the Vistula’s right bank, amongst other splendid visuals, including a contemporary center and the city’s beaches. Our boats offer comfort under both sunny and rainy weathers, being replicas of past vessels, tailored to navigate the Vistula River. The meeting point is at the Mermaid Statue by the Vistula River (along General George Smith Patton Boulevard, Warsaw). From the statue, head down the steps directly to the river, then turn right (south) and walk about 300 meters along the boulevard, until you spot the sizable white two-story barge, the Atalanta. Ascend the white gangway directly to the ship. On the opposite side of the barge on the ground floor, you’ll find the check-in for our two wooden boats. Please wait by the door that faces the river, our boat will arrive around 5 minutes before your journey commences.

Fun way to see old town and river walk ! - The guys that run the cruise were so nice. We were late showing up for our departure time and they had the captain bring the boat back around for us so we still got to do most of the tour.

Relaxing boat ride - The boat was very charming and was exactly as pictured. We were able to walk around the boat to find the best seat, either in the sun or shade. A QR code was provided to a website in your language that described the sites along the way. We were on the river for about an hour which was a decent amount of time to see everything.

Relaxation on foot of the river - A boat ride of about 55 minutes along the Vistula River. Ideal for escape. They offer an Audio Guide in different languages, Spanish even, if you have visited those places it is easier to orient yourself. For the 60 slots it costs not bad at all. There are 3 chairs only and other spaces with seating cushions. Also above the cockpit can be accessed via a ladder.

Definitely recommend! - The staff was very nice and helpful and our friend group (4 people) were offered seats on top of the boat so the views were amazing! They also had an audio guide in many different languages so it was a very beautiful and educational cruise.

Not recommended if you want to see the city - It's a relaxing trip but you can't see anything of the city. And that's what you do the boat trip for so going all together recommended

Good way to rest your feet! - We walked a LOT everyday we were in Warsaw. This was a pleasant change of pace. It felt like a nice resting break and rather than being in a chair, we were sitting on a boat. The weather was nice and it was great to be on the river. For the tour itself, it is an average audio tour. There is nothing bad at all with this experience.

The boat ride is pretty... - The boat ride is pretty boring and just goes back and forth in the same section Not easy to find the meeting location and we mentioned that when getting on board It was fine because it was nice for us to just chill and do nothing but not something I’d recommend unless you just want to kill some time

Horrible Directions Viator wouldn't refund - I paid for this excursion but didn't take it. We arrived forty minutes early. The cruise may very well be nice, however the directions are horrible. We asked numerous people nearby and we had no luck. After getting ahold of Viator we were given different directions. The cruise was nearly a kilometer away. We were not able to get to the cruise on time. We asked for a refund and we're told NO. I have taken 11 excursions with Viator in the last 13 months. This is the only negative review I've given. We were offered a later time but we had a plane to catch. BE VERY CAREFUL.
