Steamships "Vltava" and "Lana"

The wheel steamer - restaurant "Vltava" is the last of the two historic Vltava steamers. Another one is the steamer "Vyšehrad". Even after several complete renovations, it retains its undoubted historical charm, making it a popular venue for weddings, corporate events, but also an unusual venue for conferences or team building. You can also take it on sightseeing cruises around historic Prague, cruises to zoo and a traditional cruise to Slapy or a trip to Mělník. Facts about the ship: launched in 1940 at the Prague shipyard as a passenger ship. In 2013 it was ceremoniously registered in the register of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic.
