About this cruise
Elbe
Autumn Getaway
Experience a fascinating river cruise that takes you through picturesque eastern Germany. On this unique journey from Potsdam to Dresden, you’ll discover enchanting cities such as Magdeburg, with its imposing cathedral and modern architecture, as well as Wittenberg, famous as the site where Martin Luther worked and the center of the Reformation. Another highlight is the charming town of Meissen, known worldwide for its porcelain artistry and the impressive Albrechtsburg Castle.
As you glide along the Elbe and, in some sections, the Vltava, you’ll be surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and expansive river landscapes. Nature shows itself at its most beautiful here—with romantic valleys, flower-filled riverbanks, and a variety of waterfowl. This cruise is not only a journey through space but also through time—past medieval castles, Baroque palaces, and historic old towns.
On board, you’ll enjoy the highest level of comfort, culinary highlights of the region, and a varied cultural program to enrich your evenings. Whether you join a guided city tour or stroll through narrow alleys on your own—every day offers new discoveries.
This journey reveals the true soul of Eastern Germany—an incomparable blend of history, culture, and nature that will remain in your memory for a long time to come.
