Description
A peaceful Advent season on the Elbe!
Winter lights – enjoy special moments on the saloon ship in the glow of Christmas lights.
Immerse yourself in the magic of a winter evening in Dresden and let a river cruise among the glittering lights enchant you. As the festively illuminated old town glides past on the riverbank, you enjoy a delicious three-course menu, accompanied by the gentle melodies of a live pianist. The cruise takes you past the magnificently illuminated Elbe castles, the “Blaues Wunder” bridge, the gleaming television tower and the romantically lit boatmen’s church “Maria am Wasser” all the way to Pillnitz Palace.
Boarding begins half an hour before departure – the ship departs at 18:30 from the Terrassenufer, returns at approx. 21:30, and the on-board party continues until 22:00.
Catering included: festive Christmas three-course menu
