Enjoy a relaxed two-hour Vltava River cruise that pairs buffet dining with front-row views of Prague’s most iconic landmarks aboard a historic 1927 vessel.
Your experience begins at Pier No. 16 on the Františka or Dvořákovo embankment, just beneath the Štefánik Bridge. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to check in, settle into the waiting area, and board at a comfortable pace as the crew welcomes you aboard the Maria Croon and shows you to your table.
As the ship sets off, you’ll be invited to enjoy a generous hot and cold buffet prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, featuring crisp salads, roasted meats, hearty Czech specialties, pasta dishes, seasonal vegetables, and a selection of sweet desserts. With a variety of flavors to suit different tastes, dining on the water adds a unique dimension to lunch, turning a simple meal into a scenic, slow-paced experience.
The Maria Croon, built in 1927, is the second-oldest ship operating on the Vltava. Its classic character and elegant design create a timeless atmosphere, while modern comforts ensure a smooth and pleasant journey.
From the open upper deck, take in sweeping panoramas of Prague Castle, the Old Town, and the city’s historic bridges. Large windows in the interior lounges also offer uninterrupted views, making it easy to capture photos in any weather.
Whether you choose the open deck for fresh air or the heated and air-conditioned lounges below, the cruise is designed for year-round comfort. Spacious seating and attentive service allow you to simply relax and enjoy the rhythm of the river.
