Discover the hidden stories of Ljubljana's embankments with our experienced guide, who will bring the city's past to life during the cruise. This is not just a boat ride, but an experience that will reveal a completely new side of the capital.

Leave the city noise and crowded streets behind. Step aboard our panoramic boat for an unforgettable journey along the river, where the architectural masterpieces of Jože Plečnik unfold before your eyes like an open-air gallery.

Our voyage begins at the Ribji trg (Fish Square), leading you directly into the vibrant heart of the capital. As we glide under the iconic Triple Bridge, you’ll capture breathtaking views of Prešeren Square and the famous Franciscan Church from a vantage point hidden to those on foot.

As we cruise, our expert guide will share captivating stories of the medieval craftsmen who once worked above the water at the Cobblers' Bridge. All the while, the mighty Ljubljana Castle keeps watch from above, reigning over the Old Town and providing a majestic backdrop for your photos.

The tour continues past the colorful facades of historic bourgeois houses and Plečnik’s elegantly designed embankments. We will sail towards the legendary Dragon Bridge, where you can get a close-up view of the famous dragons—the fierce symbols of Ljubljana. We’ll also venture to the tranquil green oasis of Špica, where the river splits, and pass the picturesque stone steps of the Trnovo Pier, fondly known by locals as the "Ljubljana Beach," before returning to the city center in a peaceful rhythm.

A cruise on the Ljubljanica River is magical regardless of the weather. Our boat is designed for total relaxation, offering an unobstructed 360-degree view of the city’s pulse. Large panoramic windows allow you to explore the city with ease while remaining safely sheltered from rain or wind.

During the colder months, the interior is pleasantly heated, creating a cozy atmosphere to enjoy the architectural details and the festive city lights reflecting on the water. Whether you are traveling as a family, a couple, or a group, this is the most elegant way to experience the charm of Ljubljana.
