STARTING POINT
Your unforgettable journey will begin in the beautiful district of Zemun, known for its impressive architecture and landscape. You will be on a brand-new pontoon boat with all the necessary facilities. Sip your welcome drink, relax, and get ready to capture amazing moments away from the crowds. See the Great War Island, a strategic point for the defense of Belgrade and a shelter for wildlife. Enter the delta of Danube and Sava and approach the Kalemegdan fortress, the largest park, and the most important historical monument in Belgrade. Pass under all major Belgrade bridges. During the cruise, the knowledgeable crew will tell you interesting stories about the landmarks, the customs, and the everyday life of Serbia.

Great War Island (Veliko ratno ostrvo) is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers in Zemun, Belgrade. It's a nature reserve known for its rich wildlife, especially migratory birds. The island has historical significance, having been used for military purposes during World War I. Today, it is a protected area, accessible only by boat, and is a popular spot for birdwatching. While it remains mostly untouched, the island’s biodiversity and peaceful setting make it a unique destination near Belgrade.

Kalemegdan Fortress, located in the heart of Belgrade, Serbia, is one of the city's most important historical and cultural landmarks. Positioned at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, it has been a strategic military site for over 2,000 years, with its origins dating back to Roman times. Today, Kalemegdan is both a historical monument and a public park, offering sweeping views of the rivers and Belgrade. The surrounding Kalemegdan Park is a popular green space, home to walking paths, gardens, and several monuments. Notable sites within the fortress include the Military Museum, the Belgrade Zoo, and the Pobednik monument, a symbol of Serbia’s victory in the Balkan Wars.
Kalemegdan remains a symbol of Belgrade’s rich history and a favorite destination for locals and tourists.

The Pobednik (The Victor) monument is one of Belgrade's most iconic landmarks, located in Kalemegdan Fortress. It was erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia's victories in the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and World War I (1914-1918).

The monument features a bronze figure of a soldier holding a sword in one hand and a laurel wreath in the other, symbolizing victory. The soldier stands atop a stone pedestal, which is adorned with reliefs representing scenes from the wars and figures of fallen soldiers. The monument's height is about 14 meters (46 feet).

Belgrade from the river offers a stunning and unique perspective of the city. The Sava and Danube rivers converge at the heart of Belgrade, creating a dynamic waterfront that showcases both the natural beauty and historical landmarks of the city.

Ada Bridge (Most na Adi) is a prominent cable-stayed bridge in Belgrade, Serbia, connecting the city center with the island of Ada Ciganlija. Opened in 2012, it is one of the most modern and visually striking landmarks in the city.

The bridge spans the Sava River, with a length of 1.58 kilometers (about 1 mile), making it one of the longest and widest bridges in Serbia. Its unique design features a central pylon that rises 200 meters (656 feet) above the river, from which the cables supporting the bridge are anchored. The bridge's sleek, modern appearance has earned it the nickname "The Belgrade Eye" due to its distinctive shape.
