Weihnachtliche Moldau und Elbe


Whoever experiences the twinkling lights of passing cities and river landscapes from the ship for the first time in the run-up to Christmas will be reluctant to leave the deck - especially when our crew hands out mulled wine and warm blankets. It is not for nothing that our Christmas river cruises are among the most popular trips in our program. Because: to be able to experience many cultural and natural treasures in one week is one thing - to enjoy them in a wintery atmosphere at the most romantic time of the year is something else.

Your journey begins in Meissen where we will enjoy the Christmas Markets in Dresden and Prague.  We will visit the Moritzburg castle to see Aschenbrödel (Cinderella).   Then we we will sail on to Torgau, Wittenberg and Magdeburg.  Here you will see where old meets new in our walking city tours.   And finishing up in Berlin Spandau, where we will stroll through the history of Potsdam.
Afterwards, a gourmet menu awaits you in our on-board restaurant, with which you can strengthen yourself for the return journey the following day.
