A cruise on the Vltava gives the classic view of Prague: Charles Bridge in the foreground and the long line of Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral above. The cruises on this page include 50-minute sightseeing boats, evening sailings past the floodlit bridges, two-hour cruises and lunch and dinner cruises.

Prague Boats sails every day of the year from Čech Bridge on Dvořákovo nábřeží, and its main decks are heated in winter. The Prague Steamboat Company's season from Rašínovo nábřeží ended on 1 November 2026 and returns in spring 2027. Check which pier your cruise leaves from, book evening and dinner cruises ahead in December, and note that sailings can be moved in extreme weather or high water.
