Latvia · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
The 3 best cruises & boat tours on the site right now, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. The top pick leads for a reason — start there.
Riga canal boat tour with English audioguide, blankets and life vests. Glide past monuments, theater, opera, and Daugava views.
“The boat ride itself was good, but it was difficult to find the departure dock as there are other companies along the canal. It turned out the place was away from the main tourist spots and the other companies are not willing to help you to find it.”
Private 45-minute boat tour in Riga along the City Canal and Daugava, passing parks, landmarks, and bridges in English.
“This private boat tour was in a lovely new boat with a charming captain who told us all about the sights. He was caring when helping elderly on board. Highly recommend to everyone! Far better then other group boat tours and similar price.”
Glide through Riga by quiet canal and Daugava River on a heated electric boat with an English audio guide and central stops.
“Truly boring. The canals were interesting except all the buildings are above you on each side. Only when you get to the Open water of the river can you really see the dimensions of the city. The whole tour is based on an audio recording which has the speakers near the front of the very small electric boat, which is particularly hard to hear. Unless the boat and the audio recording sync up at the right time, you're looking at stuff not at the right time. It was just incredibly boring. So if you like doing boring things, this is your thing.”
Every kind of Latvian day out, and the best of each.
