As we enter the new year we would like to thank you for your support last year and assure you that in the new year we will continue to take care so as not to lose it and to welcome you on one of our cruises or events.
And what actually happened with us in 2015? There was a lot, but we will recall only the most interesting.
Bohemia Rhapsody boat - presented to Prague on 7 May
In May this year, our fleet was enriched by a new beauty – the Bohemia Rhapsody boat, the younger sister of the successful Grand Bohemia. We were very much looking forward to it and waited exactly 212 days for it to be built for us in Germany. We knew this was exactly the boat that our customers were missing, those looking for a luxury vessel for prestigious events.
In the coming year you can also rent the Bohemia Rhapsody or sail with it on our regular cruises.
Mistr Jan Hus boat - ceremonially christened on 6 July
In July at Kampa we christened the new eco-friendly Mistr Jan Hus boat, which is powered solely by electric motors. And why this name? On the occasion of 600 years since the burning of Master Jan Hus, which was celebrated this year, it could not have been given any other name.
This nicely turned-out water cabriolet can take you, thanks to its low draught and small dimensions, even into Certovka, where our Cruises from Kampa sail.
Bohemia Port – barrier-free access to the boat opened on 10 July
We want our boats to be not only eco-friendly and modern, but also to have barrier-free access. We opened the first such barrier-free boarding pier, Bohemia Port, at our pier by Cech Bridge.
We look forward to having it bring those who would otherwise be discouraged by ordinary barriers next year as well.
Brunch on a boat - we set out on the first brunch on 21 July
In July we added a brand new item to our cruise offer - Summer Brunch on our newest Bohemia Rhapsody boat. It was a relaxed cruise and also a bit of a gourmet experience with unlimited consumption.
And one more thing! We will surely repeat the brunch next season, so don't forget about it. Brunch on a boat is a great occasion to meet friends, family and business partners.
Hol Ka ferry - new ferry opened on 7 August
The name for this new Hol Ka boat, or rather ferry, was chosen by people themselves in a public poll of Prague 7. The name, which we like very much, is an abbreviation of the initial letters of the words Holesovice – Karlin, the two places that the new ferry connects.
Where can you find the ferry? Hol Ka will take you between Holesovice, Stvanice and Karlin.
150 years of Prague Steamboat Company - the climax of the celebrations on 22 August
In August, together with the Prague Steamboat Company, we celebrated its round 150 years of existence. The celebrations were grand, varied and with fireworks, as befits one of the oldest Czech companies in our country at all. We wish our historic steamers Vltava and Vysehrad more successful years.
And we wish you, on behalf of our entire team, a happy entry into the new year,
Your Prague Boats s.r.o.
