Optional tours are also available, with themes spanning glassblowing, Mozart’s life in the city and Jewish history. A side trip visits Pilsen, the capital of Czech beer. The extension, available on cruises on Crystal Mahler and Crystal Ravel, costs from £1,230, including transfers from Prague airport, and between the city and ship.
