Cruises on the Oder
The shipping season has started for good. On a warm day, water attractions are the best way to sightsee Wroclaw.
In Wroclaw, you can sail on the Oder by a large cruise ship, smaller ships, modern motorboats and electric boats with solar batteries.
Ships and motorboats are also used as venues of events, ceremonies, children's and students’ parties and corporate events. It is a popular idea for a bachelorette party or a bachelor party.
You can admire Wroclaw from the river also during a trip by kayak, rowing boat and small motorboats. Water equipment rental points in Wroclaw are open from May until late autumn.
