Experience rural idylls and the endless expanses of northern Germany on this fall cruise. 

Relax as you glide along the Weser and Hunte rivers in your floating hotel and experience typical northern German flair. Your journey begins in the maritime city of Bremerhaven and first takes you to the Hanseatic city of Bremen. Go in search of the Bremen Town Musicians and explore the popular Schnoor district - a picturesque quarter just a few meters from Bremen's market square. 

In Oldenburg, city flair meets green oases with a natural character in the middle of the city before you reach Papenburg. The tradition of tea, the Low German language, the East Frisian sense of humor and the special people make East Frisia unique. 

Finally, you reach the lively city of Groningen: an old city with a young heart, where contrasts meet.

In the morning, you leave the port city and slowly approach the Weser metropolis. Bremen fascinates with its urban diversity, lively culture and is worth a visit at any time of year. With heart and mind, your tour guide will take you on an informative and entertaining walk through Bremen's old town (optional). All the historical sights are beautifully situated here. The magnificent town hall, the stone Roland - UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bremen Town Musicians and the winding Schnoor district are just a few of the highlights. Facts and history are also gladly refreshed with “'n büsch'n Bremer Döntjes”! Afterwards, there is plenty of time to explore on your own.

Your ship has already set sail early in the morning. Enjoy the passing landscape during breakfast. In the morning, the cycling city of Oldenburg awaits you - a treasure trove of real city moments and little greetings from the countryside. The green city on the River Hunte with its charming old town invites you to take a tour (optional). Stroll through Germany's oldest extensive pedestrian zone or let yourself be enchanted by the Residential Palace in the middle of the city. The botanical gardens, ramparts and many other parks are always worth a visit. In the afternoon, continue your journey through the shallow river meadows. Relax on board and enjoy the tranquillity of the passing nature.

After successfully passing through the locks in the morning, continue your journey along the Dortmund-Ems Canal towards Papenburg. Known as a shipyard and maritime trade location, the Maritime Adventure World invites you on a journey through the history of Papenburg and the origins of timber and steel shipping. Discover exclusive areas of the otherwise inaccessible Meyer Werft shipyard site during a guided premium tour (optional). Continue to Leer in the afternoon.

Groningen

Today, the whole day is dedicated to this contrasting city, where oases of peace lie alongside lively student hangouts and bustling market squares. Take a look at the Hofjes in the city center or visit the green Prinsentuin next to the Martinitoren. At 97 meters, the tower is still the tallest building in the city. An optional walking tour will give you an initial overview of this wonderful city. Afterwards, you have the whole day to explore further. Perhaps stroll along the most beautiful shopping street in the Netherlands, the Folkingestraat, in search of a souvenir, visit the fish market (opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays, as of 07.2024) or the old warehouses along the canal and the most photographed place in Groningen.
