See Gdańsk from the water on a 110-minute yacht cruise that winds through the working port to the mouth of the Bay of Gdańsk. Enjoy onboard Prosecco or mulled wine while passing shipyards, the medieval crane and wartime Westerplatte.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard on the Motława with the city’s brick façades sliding past like pages of its history. The river nudges the hull and the port cranes loom—mechanical arms that never sleep—while a warm glass of mulled wine or cold Prosecco is handed over and the city exhales around you.

History
Gdańsk’s port has been central since medieval trade; the Żuraw crane dates to the 15th century and the shipyards are tied to the Solidarity movement of the 1980s.
Conservation
The working port affects local water quality—avoid discarding waste and follow crew guidance; coastal bird habitats are sensitive, so keep noise low when near nesting areas.

Bring windproof layers
Open decks can be chilly even in summer—pack a windbreaker for better comfort and photography stability.
Carry ID for alcohol

Choose seating wisely
