Cruise from Gdańsk Old Town to Westerplatte for port views, live commentary, music, drinks, and a close look at the city’s shipyards.
“If you want a downstairs inside seat get to the ship before the given time (5-10 mins), and you'll be OK. We wanted to see the things that were pointed out so we chose up on the deck. Information given out put some context to the buildings. When you arrive at Westerplatte, walk straight ahead until you hit the walkway by the beach and turn left. After 5 mins you will see Information boards giving the history of the area in Polish and English with also the remains of the buildings scattered around the site.
