Meet-ups with friends are organised in a wide variety of places. I have heard that women and their girlfriends prefer to meet in a supermarket, while men prefer to meet in a bar with a pint of beer. It's a bit monotonous and usual - it's time to try something new and more appropriate for the warm season, because your friends are worth it!
Where to meet a long-lost friend? How to organise get-togethers with your colleagues or classmates so that everyone leaves the meeting a winner? Maybe an evening together on a boat during the warmest time of the year is just what you need! Relax, have fun, learn and discover new things - if you think there's more to a get-together than just talking over a drink, take a boat trip on the city canal and the Daugava!
In the very centre of Riga, the Riga by canal water transport and sightseeing tourism project is now in its fifth season of operation. It can be your meeting point with friends on the water - just choose to board one of the four boats, Darling, Maria, Rebeka or Laima. The boats can accommodate up to 19 people and offer both group and individual cruises that are the perfect complement to a normal working day or an event worth celebrating.
The meeting on board takes place at Bastejkalns pier, just 100 metres from the Freedom Monument. The friends take a cruise along the Old Town and the Daugava River, without leaving the city's bridges, the famous Riga Central Market, the picturesque Old Town and the Andrejosta area. The trip will also include views of the Latvian National Theatre, the Freeport of Riga Authority, Andrejosta, Riga Castle and several other sights.
Boat trips are available on weekdays and weekends. But let the holidays be left to our closest family members and friends, while on weekdays the boat can serve as a meeting place for good work colleagues. Because good work colleagues know how to share not only their work responsibilities, but also their lunch break! Combine the enjoyable with the useful by taking a boat trip, even in the middle of the day if your schedule allows it. Or an evening on a boat with colleagues - why not?
Remember that every time you meet your fellow human beings can be an unforgettable experience! Even on a casual lunch break, you can enjoy a little party atmosphere - climbing on board with your takeaway lunch while enjoying the sights of Riga. A class evening can also be a reason for young people to climb aboard the boat for a little excursion on Riga's waterways. A class evening with excursion features? To increase knowledge.
Meeting on a boat or having lunch on a boat in the city centre sound interesting? Have breakfast, lunch or dinner on board, but the meal itself and your travel companions are up to you, as Riga by canal only provides water transport for its clients, not catering services.
A boat trip can be used for a variety of purposes - to have lunch, meet friends or celebrate an occasion such as a lunch break, the end of the working week, a birthday or even a wedding. Whether it's a class party, friends from your childhood days or good work colleagues, everyone is welcome on board.
The entertaining and educational function of Riga by canal cruises will make a get-together with friends a little adventure and celebration. A get-together on a boat, a class evening or a day out on the water - all while exploring the most beautiful and popular attractions along the canal and the Daugava River. Enjoy Riga with your closest friends - it's more fun together!
