A note about the route

We always do our best to arrange passage through the lock, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it. It then often involves some waiting too – unfortunately, we cannot influence how long it takes.

The map shows the planned route. The actual course depends on navigation conditions.

Upcoming cruises

How often does the cruise depart?

Every day, year-round. You can find the current departure times in the Upcoming cruises section.

Is the route different from the one-hour sightseeing cruise?

The route is longer — you have two hours to enjoy Charles Bridge , Prague Castle , the Dancing House and Vyšehrad at a leisurely pace. It's not a quick loop — it's a cruise made for taking it all in.

Is the boat wheelchair-accessible?

Yes — Grand Bohemia, Bohemia Rhapsody and Agnes de Bohemia are wheelchair-accessible.

What's available on board? Is there food and drink?

There's a bar and a small restaurant on board with coffee, wine, cocktails and light savoury snacks. In addition, on Grand Bohemia and Bohemia Rhapsody you can buy lunch on the noon cruise and order from the à la carte menu on the afternoon cruise. Everything is at extra cost — refreshments are not included with the basic ticket. If you'd like full dining (buffet or dinner included), choose one of our restaurant cruises.

How long is the cruise?

2 hours from departure to return at the dock.

How do I get to the pier?

The main Prague Boats pier is by Čech Bridge , about 10 minutes' walk from Old Town Square . The nearest tram stop is Právnická fakulta (lines 17, 18), the nearest metro station is Staroměstská (line A).

Is parking available?

We don't have our own parking. We recommend the Rudolfinum garages, just a few minutes' walk from the pier. The easiest way is to come by public transport — the tram stops 200 metres from the pier.

What if I arrive late?

The boat cannot wait — it departs strictly to the timetable. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before departure . If you miss the boat, contact us as soon as possible at info@pragueboats.cz and we'll try to move you to another departure on the same day.

Do you operate year-round?

Yes, all year round. Sightseeing and dining cruises run every day. In case of extreme weather or high water on the Vltava, cruises may be moved or cancelled — in that case we refund the full ticket price or offer an alternative date.

What if it starts raining?

The cruise runs in any weather. All boats have a covered main deck with panoramic windows, so you can see Prague even in the rain. The open upper deck remains optional — you choose where to sit.

Are the boats heated in winter?

Yes. The main deck on every boat is heated year-round — whether you cruise in January or November, it's warm inside.

Do the boats have air-conditioning in summer?

Yes. The main deck on every boat is air-conditioned year-round — even in the peak summer heat, the saloon stays comfortable. The open upper deck is, of course, outside and unchanged.

Are there toilets on board?

Toilets are available on all large boats. The wheelchair-accessible boats are Anna Carolina, Bella Bohemia, Marie d’Bohemia, Grand Bohemia, Bohemia Rhapsody and Agnes de Bohemia. Exception: smaller boats sailing into Devil’s Channel (Elvíra, Horymír, Mistr Jan Hus, Elektronemo) don’t have toilets on board — but the cruise only lasts 50 minutes.

Is there Wi-Fi on board?

Yes, all boats have free Wi-Fi — no registration, no time limits.

Will I learn about the landmarks during the cruise?

Yes. Included is PB Guide — our online GPS guide at www.pbguide.cz . It detects which landmark you're passing and offers text, photos and audio for 30+ Prague landmarks . It runs straight in your phone's browser, no app, no downloads . A printed guide in 16 languages is also available on board.

Will I see Prague's landmarks from the boat?

Yes. The route runs through the historic centre and always includes Charles Bridge , Prague Castle , Rudolfinum and Mánes Bridge . Depending on the cruise length, you'll also see the National Theatre , the Dancing House or Vyšehrad , or the romantic Devil's Channel by Kampa — Prague's main landmarks from a perspective you can't get from the riverbank.

Is smoking allowed on board?

Smoking is prohibited on all boats — both indoors and on the open upper deck. This applies to classic cigarettes, e-cigarettes and all other forms of smoking.

Can I bring a dog or other pet on board?

On sightseeing cruises (including cruises into Devil's Channel), small dogs in a carrier or on a leash with a muzzle are welcome free of charge, as are other small animals in a carrier (e.g. cats). On dining cruises (lunch and dinner), animals are not permitted — for hygiene and operational reasons. Animals cannot be taken on New Year's Eve cruises at all.

Can I bring children? What is the child fare?

Yes, children are welcome on all sightseeing and dining cruises. Children under 3 cruise free , children aged 3–11 pay the child fare, from age 12 the adult fare applies. New Year's Eve cruises have specific rules — see the individual NYE cruise page for details.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Online when booking: credit card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay . On board, the bar and ticket office accept payments in Czech crowns (CZK) and euros (EUR) , in cash or by card.

Can I move my booking to another date or cancel it?

It depends on the cruise type and the time remaining before departure. You'll find the full cancellation terms in the attachment to your booking confirmation email . If you need to change the date or cancel, contact us as soon as possible at info@pragueboats.cz .

Can I rent a whole boat for my own event?
