Silvesterreise Moldau & Elbe

Celebrate the winter holidays in a completely different way - namely on a ship. Many have already discovered the magic of such a trip for themselves, which ultimately led to the fact that our New Years cruises are now among the most popular river cruises in our program. Enjoy the wintery landscape and the twinkling lights as we explore the Elbe together.  

Wittenberg and Torgau offer a deep dive into German history. Moritzburg Castle, known as *Schloss Moritzburg*, is a magical stop, and it's easy to see how it evokes memories of classic German fairy tales, particularly *Aschenbrödel* (Cinderella). Moritzburg’s scenic beauty, with its baroque architecture set on an island, has made it the perfect setting for fairytale films.

Your stroll through Dresden, often called the *Florence on the Elbe*, will reveal breathtaking art and architecture, from the stunning Frauenkirche to the Zwinger Palace, reflecting Dresden's rich cultural legacy. This itinerary is a dream for anyone who loves history, art, and fairy-tale romance along the picturesque Elbe!
