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

Autumn Getaway

 

Immerse yourself in the vibrant diversity of Berlin and its charming surroundings on this unique river trip, which combines historical experiences and natural recreation in a fascinating way. The route begins on the lively banks of the Spree, where modern architecture and historic buildings offer an exciting interplay. 

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the journey continues to places steeped in history such as Oranienburg, known for its baroque palace and the moving Sachsenhausen memorial. Here you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the river landscapes, which are characterized by dense forests, charming villages and small landing stages - ideal for relaxing walks or individual excursions.

A stay in Potsdam, whose magnificent cultural landscape with UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Sanssouci Palace or the New Palace, is a particular highlight. Let yourself be enchanted by the architectural diversity, Prussian history and extensive gardens.

This trip is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the soul of Berlin intensively and discover the idyllic water world of Brandenburg at the same time. Whether on deck with a glass of wine, on a city tour or during a cycle tour along the river - the combination of urban dynamism and tranquil nature promises unforgettable moments with a pinch of water romance.

Highlight of the cruise from March 18 to March 23, 2026: Tickets for the Grand Show BLINDED by DELIGHT at the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin on March 20, 2026, are included - click here to get more information.
