You step aboard at Čech Bridge Pier No. 3 as the Vltava tugs gently at the hull, and the city unrolls — sandstone towers, a modern glass curve, and bridges punctuating the river like punctuation marks. Live music settles into the deck’s hum while a buffet of Czech and international dishes moves down the counter; a welcome aperitif loosens shoulders and first cameras click.
