Riga Canal Cruise

A View of Riga from the Water Glide through Riga’s waterways aboard an antique wooden canal boat and see the city from a different perspective. Begin with a short transfer to meet your captain and board your vessel, then set out to sail along park-lined banks and past historic bridges. Take in the views of iconic Riga landmarks along the way, including the Latvian National Opera, the Central Market and the University of Latvia—founded in 1919, it is the nation’s flagship higher education institution. Your cruise continues along the Daugava, offering a glimpse of Old Town spires rising in the distance, including those of St. Peter’s Church and the famed Dome Cathedral. As you glide along the water, you will have the opportunity to sample a selection of local snacks and beverages. Your one-hour canal cruise concludes at your embarkation pier, where you may choose to return to your ship on foot or by motor coach. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
