What you can expect

  • Step aboard a unique boat and set off on a night-time journey along the Vistula River that carries you into the world of Toruń's medieval crimes, secrets, and legends. This is no ordinary sightseeing cruise — it is an encounter with the city's dark past, told in a vivid and atmospheric way.

    Your narrator is a medieval Toruń executioner, who colourfully recounts his former trade and the stories that truly took place in the city — from witch trials to the merciless verdicts of the old town courts. On board, you'll see faithfully reconstructed tools up close: an axe, instruments of torture, and the stone used to test accused witches — all without museum glass or distance.

    The cruise is led by a raftsman dressed in historical costume, deepening the mood of centuries past. In the background unfolds the spectacular panorama of Toruń's illuminated Old Town seen from the river — its Gothic walls, towers, and churches look especially majestic after dark.

    This is an experience that engages all the senses: emotion, history, and unforgettable views in one. The cruise lasts around 50 minutes and takes place in an intimate group, with room for a maximum of 12 guests on board.

    Please note: this experience is guided entirely in Polish. The narration, stories, and commentary are delivered in Polish only, so the cruise is best suited to Polish-speaking guests or those happy to enjoy the atmosphere and views.
