Meet your personal guide at the Market Square in Wrocław. Then take a walk with him to the passenger ship pier on the Odra River. The ship marina is located at Cathedral Island and is approximately 20-30 minutes away from the Market Square.
The guide will buy tickets for the cruise and you will board a large passenger ship. You will have an hour-long cruise on the Oder towards the Zoo.
All our ships have two decks - one lower deck with a bar where you can buy snacks, hot and cold drinks, beer, salt, coffee and tea, and one upper deck, partially roofed, partially sunny. We sit wherever there are free seats. (There are no seat reservations on ships)
The cruise starts near Cathedral Island - first we admire the wonderful Gothic architecture of the cathedral island. In the distance you can see the mighty towers of the Wrocław Cathedral. We pass under the Peace Bridge - the ship whistles happily. At the beginning we sail along the Old Town. We reach the most beautiful bridge in Wrocław - the historic Imperial Bridge Grunwaldzki. You can see passers-by waving on the bridge… We sail out of the city…
The guide talks about the monuments we pass. It also tells about ships on the Oder, in the past and today. It's full of funny anecdotes and stories. After all, the Wrocław passenger shipping service in Wrocław consists of almost ten powerful ships!
On the way, we pass the Wrocław University of Science and Technology and its historic buildings. We sail under the roller coaster cars that connect the two banks of the Oder and take students to lectures! On the right side you can see the huge historic “Na Grobli” Water Tower. The huge building with a chimney is the former Wrocław waterworks. The guide tells about the last great flood in Wrocław in 1997. The entire city was flooded with a huge wave.
We reach the ZOO - here the ship turns around. This is a very complicated manoeuvre. Everyone takes photos of other ships standing at the ZOO Marina. We are slowly returning to the city centre, 30 minutes ahead of us. cruise.
On the way back you can have a beer and admire the other side of the waterfront. The guide tells about the Siege of Breslau (Festung Breslau) - the Grunwaldzki Bridge was an airport at that time!
After an hour's cruise, we reach the marina in Cathedral Island . What a cruise it was! The guide says goodbye to the group… Ahoy captain! Until next time on the ship!
After the cruise, if you wish, stay on the waterfront on the boulevard. There are many cafes and bars here and beautiful views of the Odra River.
