Group Shore Excursion of Gdansk and Oliwa Cathedral from Gdynia

About this activity

Make the most of your limited time ashore with this half-day group shore excursion, designed exclusively for cruise passengers docking in Gdynia. Discover the highlights of Gdańsk, Poland’s cultural gem, on a guided walking tour through the beautifully reconstructed Old Town — including Long Street, the Neptune Fountain, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the picturesque Mariacka Street.

Enjoy free time to explore on your own, then relax on a panoramic drive showcasing modern Gdańsk, with views of the striking Amber Stadium and the enormous Falowiec, one of Europe’s longest residential buildings. The tour continues to the peaceful Oliwa district, where you’ll visit the stunning Oliwa Cathedral, known for its baroque interior and extraordinary pipe organs. Time permitting, enjoy a stroll through the nearby Oliwa Park.

Return to the Gdynia port well in advance of your ship’s departure.
