Commentary by the captain
We chose this particular cruise as I liked the idea of going through the canal which larger boats cannot do. Apart from that canal it covers the same as other cruises (but does not go through the lock. Just as well as another reviewer said the lock used 40 mins of their cruise time). The boat is electric and has roof solar panels. There was no mention of lifejackets or emergency procedures. The woman driving the boat also gave a good commentary in English. Nice trip and good value.
Did you know that Prague has its own small Venice? Discover the mystery of its picturesque medieval houses, which seems to grow right out of the Vltava River. Your captain will take you on a cruise in a small boat or a vessel and show you the fascinating history of the Devil's Channel.
First, the cruise will take you to Charles Bridge where you can take photos of the magnificent panorama of the Prague Castle above the Vltava River before heading to the mysterious Devil's Channel. You will pass under a small bridge which crosses under Charles Bridge, and thne you'll reach the Grand Priory Mill – the most famous of the preserved mills in the Devil's Channel. On the way back you will pass by the Straka Academy, the Civic Swimming Pool and Prague Metronome above your head where you'lll see the unique complex of historic buildings of the Na Františku Hospital on the other side of the Vltava River. This tour takes you to a different side of Prague, and unlocks even more of the city's beautiful mysteries.
