From Berlin To Belgium’s Heartland

From Berlin To Belgium’s Heartland

About This Cruise

Start in Berlin, a city full of vibrant energy, cultural diversity and impressive history. Experience iconic sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island and the trendy Kreuzberg district before starting your journey on the Elbe. The river takes you westwards through idyllic landscapes, past Brandenburg, where you will be greeted by lush greenery, tranquil forests and picturesque villages.

Along the route, you will discover Oldenburg, a city with historical flair. The well-kept old town alleyways, cobbled streets and classicist façades invite you to take a stroll. Continue on to Papenburg, where the rich shipbuilding tradition comes to life at the Meyer Werft shipyard - a highlight for technology enthusiasts and culture lovers alike.

The journey finally takes you to Brussels, the heart of Europe. Here, medieval charm with guild houses, winding alleyways and the impressive Grand-Place meet modern elegance, for example in the European Quarter or in the city's design museums. Enjoy Belgian chocolates, waffles and a glass of Belgian beer while you soak up the diversity of the city.

This journey is a celebration of the European waterways, a tribute to the culture, history and joie de vivre along the way. Let yourself drift - from city to city, from experience to experience!
