Galar | Independence Cruise
The boating community in Warsaw celebrates all important occasions on the Vistula River. Independence Day is one of those days when boat owners come together to sing the national anthem on the water, then warm up by the bonfire and enjoy the river, the wind, the sand… and Poland.
The organizer of the Independence Cruise 11.11 is Robert Jankowski from the Rok Rzeki Wisły Foundation, and as every year, the Wisła District joins this initiative.
We invite you to take part in the white-and-red cruise, which will start at 11:11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from the beach near the Płyta Desantu. The cruise will last about an hour.
Cruises under the “Wisła District Navigation” program are organized by the Warsaw Greenery Authority.

More about the ship - Galar
A traditional inland boat. In the past, galars were open-deck rowing vessels. Thanks to their flat bottoms, they had a very shallow draft, making them perfect for carrying large amounts of cargo and easily navigating shallow waters. Today, we use these same advantages to organize daily cruises on the Vistula River. The galar is now covered, which makes us completely independent of weather conditions!
