You step aboard as the city loosens its pace: the Vltava nudges the hull and Prague’s facades slide by — Gothic spires giving way to baroque fronts, tramlines humming on shore. Inside, low music and the hiss of the buffet set a civilized rhythm while the river dares you to look up and read the skyline.
