Prague · VLTAVA RIVER CRUISES

The 15 Best Vltava River Cruises in Prague

58 tours  ·  from $16 a head

The city was built facing the water, and an hour on it costs less than most museum tickets. These 15 range from a fifty-minute sightseeing loop to a full buffet dinner under the castle, priced and clear about which boats have an open top deck.

Prague: Vltava River Night Cruise with Buffet

1.Vltava River Night Cruise with Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 7,338 reviews · 3 hours · from $81Our pick

See Prague lit up from the Vltava on a three-hour dinner cruise with Czech dishes, live music, a welcome drink, and castle views.

“The evening we had a cruise was wonderful. Warm, no clouds and the overall family’s mood was great. The food is average on the boat however the scenery, live music and the boat itself was great. At some point we felt punished for not being smokers as they had a top tier with nice view and tables. Food and one welcoming drink was included in the price but other soft and alcoholic drinks you have to pay separately. Overall experience was nice! Thanks!”

“Service from the start was perfect, Andrew the main server was lovely ! Throughout the night we all spoke highly and praised how funny and polite he had been with us. Brilliant service Andrew thank you! We were in Prague for my mums 60th birthday with family and friends. I messaged the venue to day before to ask if we could have anything special to celebrate, they actually got my mum a pice of cake with a candle and the band did a special shout out and song for her, she loved it ! The food was brilliant, each course was so so nice. You could go on top on…”
