Question 1

What is the Historical Cruise as a team-building attraction in the Tricity and what does it involve?

Accepted Answer

The Historical Cruise is a 90-minute journey aboard an authentic Spanish galleon departing from Gdańsk Marina towards Westerplatte — the historic site where the first shot of World War II was fired on September 1, 1939. Onboard, you'll find the lively atmosphere of a harbor adventure: local sea shanties, sea breeze, panoramic views of the Gdańsk Shipyard, Wisłoujście Fortress, and the open waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk, plus a fully stocked bar and top-notch catering. It's one of the few team-building attractions that both tells a story and entertains — for 90 minutes on the water, no one gets bored.

Question 2

What's included in the price of the Historical Cruise package?

Accepted Answer

The package price includes: a 90-minute cruise on an authentic Spanish galleon on the Gulf of Gdańsk and the Motława River, 1 beer for each participant, and the event coordinator's care throughout the cruise. There is a fully stocked bar onboard where you can order additional drinks at your own expense. The galleon also offers onboard catering — details regarding catering and alcohol packages available for purchase can be found in the list of extras or by asking the coordinator when booking.

Question 3

Where exactly does the galleon dock and where does the cruise depart from?

Accepted Answer

The galleon docks at Gdańsk Marina — the quay at Długie Pobrzeże Street or Green Bridge, right in the heart of Gdańsk's historic Old Town. It's one of the most impressive starting points for an event in the whole Tricity — cobblestone quays, Gothic tenements, and views of the Motława River create a unique atmosphere right from the meeting point. The exact docking location for the day is provided by the coordinator upon booking confirmation.

Question 4

What route does the galleon take during the cruise and what can you see along the way?

Accepted Answer

The cruise leads from Gdańsk Marina along the Motława River, through port channels, the Gdańsk Shipyard area, Wisłoujście Fortress, and the quays of the Port of Gdańsk to Westerplatte — and back. Along the way, the onboard guide comments on the sites: from the history of the Gdańsk Shipyard and Solidarity, through the legend of Wisłoujście Fortress, to the significance of Westerplatte as a symbol of the start of World War II. The view of the city from the water is absolutely unique — completely different from the perspective of the Old Town or Long Market.

Question 5

Are there any additional attractions organized onboard during the cruise?

Accepted Answer

Yes — during the cruise on the galleon, there are local sea shanties, sea breeze, fantastic views, and numerous onboard attractions engaging the group in fun activities. The bar and onboard catering operate throughout the cruise — there's no need to interrupt the fun to order another beer. The authentic galleon itself is an attraction — rich historical styling, mast, sails, and wooden decks create an atmosphere from the era of great geographical discoveries, which makes for an exceptionally photogenic background for group photos.

Question 6

Does the Historical Cruise take place in any weather and what season is it available?

Accepted Answer

No — the cruise takes place only in the summer season and depends on weather conditions and sea state. In the case of strong winds or poor conditions on the Gulf of Gdańsk, the captain may decide to cancel or postpone the cruise — the coordinator will inform the group in advance. That's why we encourage booking as far in advance as possible and providing a backup date — popular weekend dates in July and August sell out several weeks ahead.

Question 7

How long does the Historical Cruise last and what is the minimum number of participants?

Accepted Answer

The cruise lasts 90 minutes — 45 minutes one way to Westerplatte and 45 minutes back to Gdańsk Marina. The minimum number of participants is 8 people. An hour and a half on the water is enough to fully experience the cruise's atmosphere and see all the points on the route — yet not too long, allowing for a smooth transition to the next attraction or dinner after returning to shore.

Question 8

Is the Historical Cruise available in English for international groups?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the event coordinator and onboard staff communicate in English. For groups from the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia, the galleon cruise through sites related to World War II — Gdańsk Shipyard, Wisłoujście Fortress, and Westerplatte — has a unique historical and emotional dimension. It's a format that both entertains and educates, ensuring that even the most party-loving groups leave the cruise with more than just a memory of good beer onboard.

Question 9

Can the number of participants be changed after booking the Historical Cruise and until when?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to change the number of participants — please notify us of any corrections no later than 10 working days before the planned event, so the coordinator can appropriately reserve spots on the galleon. The summer season is the peak time for cruises on the Gulf of Gdańsk — we encourage securing your date and group composition as early as possible, and the number of participants can be finalized up to the designated deadline.

Question 10

What description appears on the invoice for the Historical Cruise?

Accepted Answer

The invoice for organizing a company attraction usually includes the description: “organization of an integration / company event / workshop". If your company requires a different description due to accounting department requirements or internal billing policy, please ask us for details when placing your order.

Question 11

Do you issue a proforma invoice before the Historical Cruise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, payment is made based on a proforma invoice. The final VAT invoice will be provided after the event, as the number of participants may change until then — we want to ensure that the billing is always in accordance with the actual event execution.
