Żegluga Ostródzko-Elbląska runs passenger cruises from the marina in Ostróda, where the waterways of Warmia, Masuria and Żuławy meet. Its main asset is the Elbląg Canal, a historic waterway some 84 km long — close to 151 km including its branches — listed as a monument of history and named among the seven wonders of Poland.
Between Ostróda and Elbląg vessels overcome the difference in levels not through locks but on five inclined planes: Buczyniec, Kąty, Oleśnica, Jelenie and Całuny. The boat rides onto a rail cradle and travels overland, which gave the trip its popular name, “a ship across the grass”. Two locks, at Miłomłyn and Zielona, complete the route.
Besides the full-day passage of the whole canal, which runs past the bird reserve on Lake Druzno, the operator offers shorter options: the two inclined planes route, cruises on Lake Drwęckie and Szeląg, and themed trips. A passenger ship or a motorboat can also be chartered.
