Cruise Description
Sunset Galar Cruise | Gdansk
An intimate, spacious, 12-passenger replica of a historic galar boat will take you on a cruise to Sunset (Gdansk). A small number of passengers means a lot of freedom and comfort for the participants of the sea voyage, and the height of our Galar allows you to reach places where taller ships do not have access. Each passenger is provided with a warm blanket already at the entrance, so that they can wrap themselves in it while admiring the sun setting in the Motlawa River. The whole experience is enriched with beautiful and unique views of Gdansk and sea stories, told by our guide in two languages (Polish and English).
Our captain will take you on a cruise around Gdansk that you won’t forget for the rest of your life! Admire Neptune’s City from the perspective of the water – a perspective from which you can see what is usually inaccessible to the human eye. Learn about the rich history of Gdansk, its monuments and see how the city has developed over the years. Observe the architecture of buildings and Danzig’s harbor cranes while sailing aboard a replica of the Polish river ship Galar. Ships of this type were mainly used in the 18th century, and our copy is several hundred years old! Become a passenger on this unusual boat and add a pinch of magic to your holiday memories.
Sunset boat cruise from historic site
Start your Galar boat cruise from our dock located at the Gdansk shipyard, which in the past was a place of work for nearly 18,000 people and remained closed to visitors for more than 170 years. There are few places with such an interesting history. The Gdansk Shipyard was established after 1945, on the site of the former German docks. It is from here that the Solidarity Trade Union, the trade union founded in 1980 that led to the fall of communism in Poland, originated. Today, the Gdansk shipyard is considered the cradle of Polish freedom, and in 2014 it was awarded the European Heritage Label.
Gdansk | Admire the sunset on the ship Galar
Your adventure begins the moment you board the ship. Sit back, wrap yourself in a blanket and lose yourself in the fascinating stories of our guide. Sail down the Motlawa River through the center of the Old Town. Learn a lot of interesting information and see the major tourist attractions offered by Gdansk: the grounds of the Teutonic Castle, the Long Embankment with water gates leading into the city, the famous wooden Crane from the 15th century and charming old townhouses in a contemporary setting. Continue your cruise and admire the remaining monuments and the new developments of Olowianka Island and Granary Island. All this in the glow of the setting sun.
The Galar Sunset cruise is also an excellent opportunity to look at specialized boats and harbor cranes, as well as to see the Port of Gdansk waterfront up close. This is quite a treat for boatbuilding enthusiasts, who in this way can deepen their knowledge of ship construction. It is worth taking your other half on the cruise: sunset, Gdansk, the two of you snuggled under a warm blanket. Is there anything more romantic? Guarantee your chosen one (or your chosen one) a trip she won’t forget for the rest of her life!
End your sunset cruise in Gdansk at the same place where you started. If you don’t want to disembark near the shipyard, you can also ask the captain about the possibility of mooring a little closer to the Old Town – in exchange for a sincere smile, he will surely accede to your proposal.
Relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful sunset against the backdrop of the Gdansk skyline, straight from the replica of the famous galar boat. Provide yourself and your loved ones with a unique experience – take an atmospheric cruise on the Motlawa River, which you will certainly not forget.
