Island hopping in style.

We drive through Potsdam’s historic city centre with its finely restored buildings, past the Dutch Quarter with its attractive gables. On our way to Cecilienhof Palace we pass the Glienicke Bridge, which played an important role in the Cold War. We take a stroll through the palace park before going on to the Summer Palace of Sanssouci. Fredrick The Great had this palace built in order to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital, to live without cares (sans souci) and to immerse himself in art, music and philosophy. We have a guided walk in the beautiful park before transferring to the ship.

The first excursion destination is the ruins of the Chorin Cistercian Abbey, a significant example of North German Gothic brick of Mark Brandenburg. After a guided tour through the former monasteries, you’ll continue on to the oldest German ship lift still in operation in Niederfinow. The elevator, which is more than 80 years old, bridges the difference in altitude of 36 metres between the summit level and the level of the Oder. You can also enjoy an impressive view over the Eberswalde glacial valley and the Lower Oder Marsh from the visitors’ gallery if you want to.

Come with us on a sightseeing tour and guided tour through Szczecin, the seventh largest city in Poland. On this excursion, you’ll see a variety of sights. These include the town hall, which has been restored in Gothic style; the marketplace where it is located, which has been rebuilt over the recent years; the Cathedral of Saint Jacob, which is the largest Gothic church in Pomerania; and the lovingly rebuilt Szczecin Castle. The remains of the city fortifications, and the Tower of Seven Coats, the ornately decorated Berliner Tor (Berlin Gate) and the Königstor (King’s Gate) are testament to the eventful history of the former Hanseatic city by the lagoon. From the Waly Chrobrego Promenade, you have an imposing view out to the shipyards with one of the largest sea ports in the Baltic region.

Today you can admire the unique north German Gothic brick in all its splendour and variety on a visit to the old Hanseatic City of Greifswald. On a guided tour, you’ll get to see the city up close with its picturesque buildings, Gothic brick and imposing gable façades as well as gothic churches. You’ll see, among other things, the listed marketplace with the town hall and St. Nikolai Cathedral with its curved Baroque dome.

A special type of island tour awaits: you’ll go on an exploratory tour in a horse-drawn carriage along Hiddensee, a car-free nature island just 17 kilometres in length. “Dat söte Länneken” (the sweet country”) is sure to cast its spell on you with its diverse landscape and austere and distinctive beauty.
