Description
Experience an evening of hands-on history on the Elbe.
Don’t forget – take a steamer trip!!!
Enjoy an exclusive cruise through time for young and old!
Celebrate a special anniversary with us, full of nostalgia, fine food and unique views and insights!
On board the modern saloon ship MS “August der Starke”, technology, history and lively storytelling come together: presenter Dirk Ebersbach guides you through the exciting developments of the last 190 years in an interactive multimedia show.
Timeline
An impressive timeline stretching across the whole ship brings the milestones of this history to life and invites you to explore. QR codes take you to short videos in which guests and staff share their experiences with the fleet – complemented by interesting facts and background information on special events.
An evening full of experiences
Families are catered for too: on our creative island, children (and adults) can tie nautical knots and try out small craft ideas – playful, hands-on and interactive. The evening is rounded off with old-fashioned culinary delights: rustic classics reminiscent of the good old days meet the special atmosphere of an Elbe cruise.
Accompanied by live piano music that transports you to bygone eras, this evening becomes a journey through time in which history is not just told but can be experienced with all the senses.
Enjoy all this during a three-hour cruise followed by a one-hour get-together while moored.
