See the city from the sea
.... from the water. 
See the city from the sea... from the water. Gdynia is the only city of its kind in Poland that grows and lives where the sea meets the land. A walk around the city, followed by a sightseeing trip on a by RIB boat – that is the only way to experience the city growing out of the sea.
Gdynia – a city from the sea
This is not a marketing cliché but a fact. A fishing village near the Free City of Danzig was turned into a modern port city at the beginning of the 20th century. Gdynia is not yet 100 years old! This means that, although it forms the Tri-City agglomeration together with Sopot and Gdańsk, Gdynia clearly differs from its neighbours in its architecture and atmosphere.
This modernity that sets Gdynia apart is also its curse – it does not appear very often in tourists' sightseeing plans. Which is a pity, because it is Gdynia that lets you feel a truly seaside atmosphere and learn about the turbulent history of the last 100 years of Poland.
The Gulf of Gdańsk – the most interesting part of the Polish coast
Nowhere else on such a short stretch will you see so many interesting places with wonderful views and a fascinating history. Gdynia and Gdańsk are two large ports on the Baltic Sea – in the waters of the Gulf you will meet the largest ships in the world and majestic cruise ships.
The middle of the Gulf of Gdańsk is a great viewpoint. From here you can admire Gdynia, Sopot and Gdańsk laid out before you, and understand why the Tri-City looks the way it does. More about cruises on the Gulf of Gdańsk.
What will you see during the sightseeing cruise?
Marina Gdynia – the only marina of its kind in the Tri-City with direct access to open water. No need to sail through a port canal or a river.
Port of Gdynia – the place where Polish emigration to America began. The historic shipyard, the President's Basin, the Navy port – these are just some of the interesting places.
Formoza and Babie Doły Torpedo Stations – history from the Second World War. An installation of Hitler's Secret Weapon – right next to the V2 rockets.
Seaside Boulevard – something obvious for Gdynia residents, but it hugely surprises visitors.
The cliff hills in Redłowo and Orłowo – at the top there were artillery batteries, a remnant of the post-war period.
The cliff in Orłowo – Gdynia's postcard emblem. Every year it looks different after its winter battle with storms.
What is the sightseeing cruise like?
We set off from Marina Gdynia (Al. Jana Pawła II). The cruise lasts about 60 minutes. Along the way we talk about the history of the city, the port and the most interesting places we pass. A RIB boat provides an amazing atmosphere, adrenaline and closeness to the sea.
