Small wooden Gdańsk boat cruise on the Motława for 70 minutes. Skip crowds, see WWII submarine areas, blankets included.

“This tour is superb! Our tour guide was both informative and funny. The polish boat was comfortable and practical. Gdansk is steeped in history and the cruise is an ideal way to learn about the history. The city cruise went so quickly and we enjoyed every minute. Great activity and we preferred it so very much more than the walking tour. Our guide recommended the war museum. It’s a must, although you need at least 3/4 hours to fully appreciate it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 231 reviews · 50 - 105 minutes · from $26

Sail Sopot’s bay on a yacht cruise with optional steering and a welcome drink, plus blankets and time for photos of Orłowo and Gdańsk.

“I had a lovely time. It's a perfect activity to spend a couple of hours. You can stay and chat at the back of the yacht, you'll learn lots about sailing etc as the skipper is happy to answer questions. You can also move to the front, where it's quieter and just enjoy the gentle rocking of the yacht and stunning views. If you're looking for a high adrenaline, alcohol fuelled fun this one is probably not for you. But if you need a couple of hours to decompress and chill, I can't imagine a better place to be.”
