Cruises on the Motlawa River by a luxury catamaran - Gdańsk from the water side

Set against the historic backdrop of Gdańsk, Poland, Blues offers an exclusive 45-minute cruise along the Motława River aboard a sleek, modern motor catamaran built for just 12 guests. This intimate experience invites travelers to witness the city from the water, capturing a unique perspective on Gdańsk’s architectural and industrial heritage. The voyage begins at the Water Tram Ferry Terminal near Powroźnicza 21, right by the iconic Green Bridge.

From here, the catamaran slips smoothly through water gates that have served the city for centuries and follows a route rich in history and notable sights. Glide past the sturdy remains of the Teutonic Castle’s wall, then curve alongside the Long Seacoast (Długie Pobrzeże) where colorful merchant houses rise from the shore. The 15th-century Crane, once a medieval port crane and now a bold symbol of Gdańsk’s maritime past, leers next to warehouses on Granary Island, another highlight adorned with monuments.

Continuing downstream, the journey offers clear views of Olowianka Island and the Polish Hook, the latter providing a stirring panorama of the Gdańsk Shipyard. This place resonates deeply with Poland’s modern history as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement and the workplace of Lech Wałęsa. Each landmark is illuminated by expertly recorded commentary available in Polish, English, and German, weaving local stories and facts to elevate the experience.

Blues stands out in the region’s outdoor adventure scene for blending relaxation with cultural immersion, making this more than just a boat ride. The luxury catamaran’s open design offers unobstructed views and a comfortable setting for families, friends, or colleagues. Whether you’re drawn by Gdańsk’s rich past or simply want to absorb its waterfront charm from a new angle, this carefully curated river cruise delivers a memorable window into one of Poland’s most compelling cities.
