For Schools and Organised Groups

We invite schools and organized groups to join us for cruises along the Gliwice Canal — a perfect blend of education, discovery, and relaxation. During the cruise, our crew introduces participants to the history and navigation of the Gliwice Canal. Moreover, participants can learn how the lock system works and become familiar with water safety principles in an engaging way. These cruises provide an excellent opportunity for thematic outdoor lessons in biology, nature studies, geography, and history. It’s a wonderful time for students to relax in nature, bond as a group, and learn through experience.
Educational cruises help students develop observation skills, stimulate curiosity and critical thinking, and shape a scientific understanding of the world. They leave lasting memories and make acquired knowledge more vivid and meaningful.
