If you’re looking to add some sparkle to your Prague visit, the Booze Cruise with Open Bar and Duplex Entry offers a lively way to experience the city’s evening buzz. While we haven’t personally taken this cruise, the details paint a picture of a fun-filled night with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the city’s sights and party scene.

We’re particularly drawn to the way it combines a scenic river cruise with a lively party atmosphere—an unusual combo that promises both sightseeing and socializing. The live DJ sets a great vibe, and the unlimited drinks keep spirits high. However, it’s worth noting that the tour isn’t a quiet, romantic cruise; it’s a party, and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. This experience is best suited for travelers who enjoy lively environments, are of legal drinking age, and want to cap off their day with a mix of sightseeing and dancing on a rooftop club.

The Open Bar Experience
The two-hour open bar is a major selling point. Unlimited beer, wine, and mixed drinks are available during this time, so you can indulge without worrying about the bill. While some reviews mention the excellent wine selection, the overall focus is on keeping the party lively.

As you cruise along the Vltava River, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to snap photos of Prague’s landmarks—like Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and the National Theatre—glowing in the evening light. We loved the way the boat provides a relaxed yet festive environment, with plenty of space to socialize or just enjoy the views.

Once the cruise ends, the fun doesn’t stop. You’ll gain entry to Duplex, Prague’s top rooftop club. The club’s panoramic windows and rooftop terrace provide a stunning backdrop for dancing into the early hours.
