Shore excursions program for below cruises

After leaving the port, the tour will take you through the suburban and commercial areas of Gdańsk to reach the city’s old quarters. Located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, Gdańsk was first recorded as a settlement as early as A.D. 997 and looks back on an ancient and rich maritime tradition. Today Gdańsk is Poland’s main seaport with an economy that is dominated by shipbuilding, the chemicals industry as well as food processing. The town is also known as a local centre for processing amber for use in the creation of beautiful jewellery. The completely rebuilt historical centre, along with its architectural cocktail of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments, is well worth exploring on foot. Another must-see in the city’s old quarters is Saint Mary's Church, the pride of Gdańsk. As the world’s largest brick church, the cavernous interior of the building is large enough to accommodate a staggering 25,000 people.
