Dresden to Hamburg: Between Culture and the Coast

Dresden to Hamburg: Between Culture and the Coast

About This Cruise

This cruise combines culture, history and northern German lifestyle to create a particularly multifaceted cruise experience. The cruise begins in Dresden, where Baroque splendor, world-famous art treasures and the elegant Elbe flair of the Saxon state capital provide the perfect setting for the start of your cruise.

The route continues along the Elbe to Meissen, known for its traditional porcelain manufactory, and to Wittenberg, the heart of the Reformation. Here you will encounter European history at every turn, before reaching Magdeburg, one of the oldest cities in Germany, whose imposing cathedral dominates the cityscape.

In Brandenburg, Potsdam and Berlin-Spandau, the whole diversity of the capital region unfolds: magnificent palaces and gardens, historic old towns and the lively flair of the metropolis are in exciting contrast to each other here.

The ship continues its journey north via Genthin, Calvörde and Braunschweig. The route through the inland of Lower Saxony offers charming landscapes, tranquil waterways and insights into towns steeped in tradition. Stations such as Hannover and Uelzen combine urban life with regional charm.

Finally, you reach the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, where the cruise culminates with maritime flair, imposing port architecture and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. An atmospheric finale that harmoniously rounds off this impressive journey from the Elbe to the coast.
