Step one

Choose your sailing

It's a fly-cruise, so the price moves with the airport you fly from — and the cheapest airport isn't the same one every week. Choose your airport, then a date to see the cabins on board.

About this cruise

Elbe

This journey begins in Berlin Spandau, where the flair of the capital meets the water landscape. Via Potsdam and Brandenburg, the route leads past castles, lakes and historic riverside towns. In Magdeburg, the cityscape impresses with its cathedral and waterway intersection, before continuing via Wolfsburg and Braunschweig, where tradition and innovation stand side by side. The final destination of Hanover combines urban elegance with a green quality of life - a successful conclusion to a varied river trip through the heart of Germany.
