What To Expect

Travel independently to the departure jetty on the Vltava River in central Prague. Then, step aboard your comfortable sightseeing boat and enjoy the views of the city’s skyline from the water, just as the sun sets and the lights of evening flicker to life.

Sip on a complimentary glass of Becher Liqueur as your boat pulls away, and enjoy the passing sights from the outdoor deck or through the panoramic windows of the inviting cabin.

Behold the medieval spires, turrets, and towers shining out from the romantic dusk light, and admire their reflections in the gently lapping waters.

Cruise past floodlit Prague Castle, the Rudolfinum, National Theater, and St. Nicholas Church; and take photos as you sail under the 14th-century stone arches of the Charles Bridge and pass through the oldest locks on the Vltava.

Then, dig into a sumptuous dinner buffet of delicious Czech and international cuisine. Take a seat at a shared table and chat to your fellow guests over your meal. Purchase drinks from the boat bar (own expense), and if you wish, upgrade to enjoy additional delicacies such as Prague ham, sushi, and other dainty finger foods. See the Itinerary for sample menus.

During your meal, enjoy renditions of lively Czech music courtesy of the live band, and afterward, head back to the softly illuminated outer deck to enjoy more of the city’s bright lights as the music plays.

Your trip finishes back at the starting jetty.

Lowest quality experience

Majbritt_M, Oct 2021

Do not expect a deasant meal or service. The quality of the Food, music and service was so poor. Never again!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Dear customer, we respect your opinion. Thank you for sharing with us. Best regards

Wonderful atmosphere!...

Pauline_F, Sep 2021

Wonderful atmosphere! Nice staff and the food was also good. If I would ever go back to Prague I will do it again.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Dear Pauline, 🙂 Thank you for your review. We hope you will come back ones to visit Prague. Have a nice time

very disappointing experience

erik_g, Aug 2021

The pictures on the site are promising, but what you get is this : the "dinner buffet" is worthless, the food is terrible and when you are last in the row, almost nothing is left ! Vegetables are not properly cooked, french fries are tasteless, desserts ... were not there anymore when we arrived at the "buffet". No one announces that it is open ! The boat trip should last two hours, but you are in the lock for about half the time ! Service : the picture shows you an elegant lady, in reality people serving you, with all respect, are not like the girl on the picture ! The boat is not clean at all, toilets are disgusting, men and women using the same facilities ! They told us paying by card was possible, at the end that caused a lot of trouble. Three other couples we met were very disappointed as well, and even had dinner later on in town ! Do certainly not dress up ! NEVER AGAIN

relaxing boat ride

Francis_D, Feb 2020

The city looked amazing at night on the boat cruise. The music was nice and relaxing. The food was better than I was expecting nice bonus.

Fiasco

Chris_O, Dec 2019

Viator’s voucher was absolutely awful. We showed it to 3 Locals who sent us all over the place (bearing in mind one of us walks with a stick) arrived in time to see no sign of the boat. The actual tour operator was absolutely useless. Not a happy experience

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Dear Liz, we are very sorry you can not find the place but in the voucher is address and number of port 16, which place/port is marked with a number and also the number is on the departure shed as well illuminating. We hope you have good time in Prague Have a merry Christmas Gray Line Czech Republic

Brilliant

Lisa_B, Nov 2019

We actually missed our boat because our Uber couldn't find us, but the organizers were very kind and swapped us to a later time. The staff were lovely, the food was tasty, it was nice and warm and the entertainment was great. Thank you

Cruise was good- food was not

Guide221440, Oct 2019

Staff was great, views of the city were beautiful, food was not much to speak of. It was not traditional, or good.

Lights on Vltava cruise

Geraldine R, Aug 2019

The music was wonderful and the lights on the river at night were spectacular. However the buffet food ran out before everyone had a meal.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Good day, Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed the tour :-) Food was replenishing, if it wasn't, it was a gross mistake of the staff that day. Regards

Good but make sure you know where you’re going

Juan P, Aug 2019

We originally booked for 8 pm and called the day before and were told 6 pm Our voucher was printed 8 pm but the boat person told us 6 pm No-one at the gang plank helping people on or off - this was especially bad for the older people Not much spoken English either Food was standard Nice ride in calm waters Absolutely no commentary as to history of the buildings

Reservation at the wrong time

Birgit_L, Jun 2019

Reservation was at the wrong time , we had no place in the ship!!!! I want my money back, it is not possible to call someone!!!!!!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Dear client, I personally do not know what happened exactly and why you were not on the cruise, but it is possible that if you made the last minute booking that the ship was already occupied. In this case, we always offer the cruse on another and if you did not agree, the money will be returned to you. This procedure takes a few days and we apologize for this. Best regards Team of Gray Line Czech Republic

No customer service and plain food

Bridget_D, Apr 2019

We found the staff on the boat to be very rude. Long severe faces when we tried to ask them something in English. Food was mainly from tins. We didn’t stay for the whole trip. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Very disappointing experience.

Bridget_D, Apr 2019

We went on the boat hoping to go on the upper level for better views. We were told very rudely to go downstairs with no explanation. The ladies working on the boat had absolutely no English and served the local guests before coming to us at the end and asking if we wanted a drink. When serving drinks they reached right across in front of my face without any apology pushing me out of the way. When I asked to speak to someone who spoke English they refused. After 15 minutes were were able to get off as the boat went through a lock and.were removed to do so. We did not eat the meal but it looked very basic, mostly from tins. It was a buffet, which we knew.

Low quality cruise at exorbitant price

John O, Dec 2018

The cruise boat was very basic. The staff had the temperature set to a very uncomfortable 30 degrees. The food was very poor - frozen vegetables, tinned fruit, over cooked fish and only cookies for desert. Wine was just awful. Staff seemed very uninterested.

Great fun!

Corinne_M, Dec 2018

Great fun, nice food, although portions small, good musician playing music got everyone singing along, too cold to go on deck to take photos, but fun experience. If lights inside were dimmed slightly, it would be easier to see the outside.

Disappointing Very basic

Richard S, Dec 2018

Staff members were a little invisible- no formal welcome on board - food wasn’t great (we weren’t even told we could go and get it!) no info on city sights would have been useful.

Nice

Brian O, Dec 2018

We enjoyed this, food good, staff friendly and the guitar player played some good stuff as well. I only give this a 4 star rating because the boat was hard to find, no name given or exact leaving point.

We chose the 8 pm departure. We had...

Mark_G, Jun 2018

We chose the 8 pm departure. We had trouble locating where the boat departed, there was no indication on our voucher which dock position the boat was departing from... we ended up ringing the Viator office, who told us the number and argued that it was on the voucher, which it definitely wasn't. Plus boat was not even at the dock, so it was very confusing. Also make sure you take the voucher to a little hut/office on the dock to exchange the voucher for your tickets, no-one told us that either. The cruise itself was OK, taking you further up the river, through the locks to areas you normally would not have seen. Prague by night is very pretty. But the food was very average, would recommend doing the cruise without the food.

We were disappointed in this dinner...

JEANNE_F, Mar 2018

We were disappointed in this dinner cruise. The food was average and we were actually rather bored. The people who ran the cruise served the first drinks and supplied the food, but had no interaction with the people on board. There was a musician who was fairly good. We would not book this again nor would we recommend it to anybody.
