MEDIEVAL KNIGHT BOAT SLAVJANA

It was built in the far north of Europe in Karelia. It is a faithful replica of warships of Viking and Varangian type from 1000 years ago. The construction was done on the basis of archaeological findings, it is entirely made of wood. In 2014, the ship went on a journey of epic proportions, 8,000 km long, sailed across the largest European lakes, rivers and, as in a fairy tale, even seven seas! Azov, Black, Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, Ionian and Adriatic. It is unique in this part of Europe.

You will be welcomed on the ship by an experienced captain and a friendly crew in Serbian, English and Russian, from whom you will hear the incredible history of Belgrade and the Slavјanа ship. The competent knight crew is in medieval armor and costumes throughout the voyage. Also costumes, armor, helmets, shields and real medieval swords and other weapons are provided for all visitors.

You will not be sitting at tin tables on plastic chairs in the glazed cabin of a modern metal ship with a can of drink,but like a true adventurer, you will sit on the open deck with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face, on a wooden rowing bench covered with real fur, drinking from wooden mugs and clay cups.

Depending on the weather conditions, you can also sail with a real Viking square sail or even row if you wish. For complete enjoyment and relaxation, the boat, in addition to being powered by oars and sails, also has an engine as well as all the necessary modern safety equipment.

A truly interactive and authentic experience on the beautiful Danube and Sava rivers on a unique medieval cruise through the heart of Belgrade. You will see the Belgrade Fortress, Pobednik Monument, Great War Island, Konjsko Island, Confluence of the Sava and the Danube, the Church of Saint Sava, the Serbian Patriarchate, Belgrade Bridges, the newly built Belgrade on the water, a panorama of the entire city, Old and New Belgrade and Zemun. Pleasant medieval music completes the experience.

For the sake of complete pleasure, we suggest that you visit the SVIBOR Belgrade Knights' Park during the sailing. Here at the Knights Museum you will see an exhibition of real medieval armour, shields, weapons and equipment that you can dress up and take great photos for social media,and then you try your hand at shooting with a bow and arrow, a Viking axe or a knight's spear and mace at the target. Fighting with soft and safe props-swords and shields with protective helmets and armor will make you feel the heroic Viking adrenaline.

Sail with us and experience history brought to life in a new way. Make unforgettable memories on the ship Slavjana, which is the winner of the big championship cup and the winner of the first place, the winner of the "Belgrade Boat Carnival".

The unsurpassed attractiveness of the ship is evidenced by many historical and feature films with a medieval theme that were filmed on it, reports of travel writers from various meridians, recordings of many foreign and domestic televisions as well as newspaper articles and reports on various electronic platforms.

The sailing lasts an hour and a half, and the complete adventure with a visit to the Knights' Park lasts 3 hours. Departures are every day at 16:00 from the pier at the end of the Beton hall near the Lafayette restaurant. You can go down to the starting point via the pedestrian bridge-walkway directly from the Belgrade Fortress.

The boat has a capacity of 12 passengers and is primarily intended for sports and recreation.
