Ship-to-city transfers
Danube river cruise transfers from Prague
Your cruise line’s terms say it plainly: getting to the ship is your job. We finish that sentence properly — a private, ship-tracked transfer from your Prague hotel door to the gangway, with an all-aboard guarantee in writing. We meet guests of Viking, AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Avalon and Tauck at every Danube embarkation port reachable from Prague.

The transfer your cruise line doesn’t sell
Cruise lines sell a coach seat at around $150 per person — and the coach makes a day of it, roughly eight hours with the whole group. A private car does the same journey in about three, on your schedule. From two people the math is comparable; from three, the car usually wins. And if you only need the transfer — no package, no excursion — that is exactly what this is.
How it works
- Book with your ship’s name and all-aboard time takes five minutes; no account, no app
- We confirm within 12 hours — human-checked and we recommend your pickup time, planned backwards from your all-aboard
- Your driver meets you with a name sign details sent before you even board your cruise
- You board with hours to spare we track your ship and its berth the whole way
Three guarantees, in writing
All-Aboard Guarantee
We plan your pickup backwards from your ship’s all-aboard time — and we track your ship, not just your flight. Your driver knows your all-aboard time, and we get you dockside hours before it, not minutes.
If a failure on our side ever causes you to miss your ship, you pay nothing and we drive you to its next port at our own cost.
We Show Up
Once your booking is confirmed, we never cancel it — not for a smaller group, not for a better offer.
If we ever failed to show, you would get a full automatic refund to your card — not a voucher, not a negotiation — and we would still do everything we can to get you moving.
Fixed Price
The price you confirm is the price you pay — per vehicle, not per person, with tolls, parking, waiting and card fees included. It will not change on the day, and it will match your card statement to the cent.
If a surprise ever appears there, we refund the difference — no questions asked.

Questions cruise guests ask us
Is a private transfer cheaper than the cruise line coach?
For one person, usually not. From two it becomes comparable, and from three the private car often wins — $359 for up to three guests, beside $150 per person for the coach. And the drive is about 3¼ h door to gangway instead of an 8-hour coach day.
What if my ship’s all-aboard time or berth changes?
We track your ship and its berth, not just your flight — changes reach your driver automatically, and you don’t need to tell us anything. If your cruise line changes your itinerary, cancellation is free at any time; just forward us their notice.
What if the ship leaves without us?
If a failure on our side ever causes you to miss your ship, you pay nothing and we drive you to its next port at our own cost. We plan your pickup backwards from your all-aboard time and get you dockside hours before it, not minutes.
Can I book a transfer only, without a cruise package?
Yes. This is exactly the service the cruise line doesn’t sell separately — a private transfer between Prague and your ship, with the all-aboard guarantee included.
Can we stop in Český Krumlov on the way?
Yes — a named add-on with 3½ hours in town: +$99 for a sedan, +$119 for a V-Class van, in the currency you book in. It is a choice at booking, never a push.
Do you provide child seats and boosters?
Yes — guaranteed and free. The right seat for each child’s age and weight, confirmed in writing and fitted before pickup. “Usually available” is not in our vocabulary.
How do I pay? When is my card charged?
Pay securely by credit card. We never ask for bank transfers. Prices are published in both EUR and USD and your card is charged in the currency you choose — you pay exactly the price shown, with no conversion. At checkout you pay a 25% deposit or the full price; with a deposit, the balance is charged to the same card 48 hours before pickup — the moment free cancellation ends.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel free of charge until 48 hours before pickup — full refund to your card, not a credit. If your cruise line changes your itinerary — a different berth, low water, a new schedule — cancellation is free at any time; just forward us the notice.
Is Prague Storyways legitimate? How can I verify you?
Prague Storyways is operated by a Prague transport company founded in 2017 (Transport Artists s.r.o., ID 05890942). You can verify the company in the Czech public register, and your driver’s details reach you before travel.
