Great little cruise, very relaxing sat on top of boat, no guide information provided but in some ways this allowed you to sit back and enjoy the views and cruise without being disturbed.

Świetna wyprawa i nauka. Andrzej zachęcił mnie do pójścia drogą kariery marymarza.
Location
The landmark is the Copernicus Science Center (General George Smith Patton Boulevard, Warsaw). When you get out of the taxi, metro or bus at the Copernicus Science Center, head in the direction of the Vistula boulevards, then go down the stairs straight to the river. Then walk 300 meters to the left (north) along the boulevard. You will see a large brown two-level barge named Marina Warszawa. Walk up the gangway straight onto the barge. On the other side of the barge on the first level (first floor) is the check-in area for our wooden boats. Be there 20 minutes before your cruise so that the coordinator can check your ticket and give you brief instructions. The boat will arrive 5 minutes before the start of the cruise.

The banks of Warsaw’s Vistula River tell a tale of two halves. To the west, you’ve got the cityscape of the historic old town merging into the skyscrapers that you’d expect from a modern capital. While the east bank is lined by a huge protected green space, with parks, wildlife and natural beaches. Taking a cruise along the river is the best way to appreciate both sides.
