Wonderful experience - Beautiful Krakow at night tour. Even in the cold, well worth the cost. The views were beautiful and the staff were very accommodating. Would definitely go again.

What a way to spend an hour in the evening! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A brilliant and memorable night cruise experience! Wrap up warm as it does get cold, but it’s absolutely worth it. The pre-drink on the adjoining boat was so festive — beautifully lit up and it really got us into the mood for the evening. Once on board, there were heaters outside, which meant we could enjoy the best views of the city by night in comfort. Cold drinks were served on board, adding to the relaxed, fun atmosphere. A lovely experience from start to finish — memorable, atmospheric, and something we’d happily do again. Loved it!

Krakow Evening River Cruise - We really enjoyed this evening river cruise. The boat was lovely - large with plenty of seating for the number of us on board, with a well-stocked bar & toilet facilities. It was a very cold evening but we stood outside on the top deck for great views of Krakow at night. It was difficult to hear the commentary but we weren't too concerned & were very happy just to enjoy the atmosphere & lights along the river.

Nice Night Views, but Too Cold to Fully Enjoy - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kraków by Night – 60 Minute Cruise We did the Kraków by Night 60-minute cruise, and overall the experience was okay, but very much dependent on the time of year. The night-time views along the river were genuinely nice. Seeing Kraków’s buildings and landmarks lit up after dark was the highlight of the trip and gave a different perspective of the city that you don’t get during the day. From that point of view, the cruise does what it promises. However, the temperature really affected the overall enjoyment. It was around 0°C, and on the river it felt significantly colder. Even wrapped up, it was uncomfortable for long periods, which took away from what could otherwise have been a relaxing experience. Because of this, it was difficult to fully enjoy the cruise for the full hour. I wouldn’t say the experience is bad, but I wouldn’t recommend doing this cruise at this time of year unless you’re very comfortable in freezing conditions. I can see this being far more enjoyable in warmer months when you can properly take in the views without battling the cold. In summary: nice night-time scenery, but timing is everything with this one.

Need to get there early... - Need to get there early to make sure you get a seat up top or else it is somewhat pointless. The first floor windows are dirty and most are obstructed so you can’t really see everything.

Ok Cruise - It was a nice mellow ride along the river. It was very hard to hear the narrator and he did not give a lot of info but it was fine for a cold winter evening.
