Costa Toscane
Levra, Mar 2025
Very disappointed with the Costa Company. We were on the Tuscan Costa, in a balcony cabin. Smaller bed as well as cabin, more mini bar, very average comfort. The deplorable restaurant, breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's more like a cafeteria. Staff at reception unsympathetic. Staff very nice rooms. That’s not what it used to be. Never again Costa. To flee
Good fun and good value

You travel in an open small boat along the main canals of Gdansk with a driver and a guide providing the commentary. It was good fun and informative. We did get stuck behind a lock gate for 20 mins or so but it added to the entertainment. Boat is open so will not be so good on a wet/windy/rainy day
Great tour and smooth sailing

Lively patter was pretty easy to understand. The skippers were dressed up for Halloween. Great way to relax and see the city in fresh air.

Loved this trip despite the fog. Tour guide ( can’t remember his name Bron? Boat 4) was great and knowledgeable.
Itinerary
Gdansk Shipyard
The cruise starts from the post-shipyard area - from the former Imperial Shipyard, where the production of u-boats took place. And right next to the existing shipbuilding industry - characteristic Gdansk cranes, specialized ships, exclusive yachts and a unique industrial atmosphere.
Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze)
Cruising along the long Motlawa river Embankment we will see the remains of the wall of the Teutonic Castle with The Swan tower, Water Gates leading to the city, including the famous Crane from 15th century, the most beautiful of the gates - the St. Mary's Gate and the oldest gate - the Green Gate.
Olowianka Island - The functional use of the island has changed over the years. At present, on the island, we will see the Polish Baltic Philharmonic, the Royal Granary, the National Maritime Museum and the of Stonemason's Bridge.
Granary Island - The Green Bridge connects the main part of the old town with the Granary Island. It is not difficult to guess what was located on the island given the name(the island had a storehouse where all the goods were kept). Currently, on the Island, we will see, among others remains of old granaries, including the best preserved granary Blue Lamb and their modern incarnation (the reconstruction of the Island after the Second World War).
Galley boat tour gives a different perspective on the historical value of the Main City. With us you will see unique places not available for walkers.
