If you’re looking to combine scenic views, lively music, and a spirited party atmosphere, the Drunken Monkey Prague Boat Party offers just that. This 5-hour experience takes you on a sunset cruise along the Vltava River, featuring a 2-hour open bar, a live DJ, and a visit to Prague’s top rooftop club, Duplex. Priced reasonably, it’s a popular choice with a solid 4.2 out of 5 stars from 43 reviews, perfect for travelers eager to see Prague from a different vantage point while enjoying a fun, relaxed party.
We love how this tour balances spectacular scenery with party vibes—sipping drinks while watching the city’s landmarks drift by at sunset is truly memorable. Plus, the afterparty at Duplex gives guests a seamless continuation of the night with stunning rooftop views.
