Visitor tips
High season vs low season: With clear skies, and sunny weather, the summer months from June to August are a great time to take a Prague sightseeing cruise. But being the peak season, this time sees more tourists. The off-peak season months of April to May and September to October mostly offer pleasant weather, with the added advantage of lower tourist numbers.
Weekends vs weekdays: Weekdays are better for going on a sightseeing cruise than weekends or public holidays, which see more crowds.
Best time of the day: Choosing between a daytime cruise and a night cruise depends on your preferences. Cruises during the day offer lovely views of the city, while dinner cruises allow you to see the city’s skyline illuminated at night.

Having the option of open-air or indoor seating was good. When we went, the weather was pleasant, so we went to the open upper deck. But had we gone a few days later, I'm sure we would have enjoyed the view of Prague from behind glass below. The occasional announcements of noteworthy sights along the way were good; the English was quite clear. The city has a lot to see from the river. It's a shame that the boat can't go farther due to barriers in the river. It's great that the boat is electric.

The evening menu was fantastic, it left nothing to be desired.
Unfortunately the weather was not so nice, so the glass roof could not be opened.
