What you can expect

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and join us for a reflective, one-hour cruise on the Vistula River. As we sail, immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of nature—the song of birds, the rustle of leaves, and the gentle lapping of water against our boat.
During this journey, you will hear the gripping audio narrative of Captain Witold Pilecki’s courageous escape from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. This is more than just a cruise; it is a moving experience that connects the beauty of the surrounding landscape with the profound history of the region.
Limited to just 12 passengers, our boat offers an intimate atmosphere, allowing you to contemplate history in peace. As we navigate the river, you will admire diverse landscapes and majestic trees that seem to guard the secrets the Vistula has witnessed for generations.
Take a moment to catch your breath, disconnect from your daily duties, and reconnect with history in the heart of nature.
