Your experience

Elbe Bridges & Blue Wonder

This pocket-friendly cruise is perfect if you’re short on time but want to make the most of your stay in Dresden. Your journey starts from Terrassenufer, Dresden's Old Town. As your paddle streamer makes its way through the Elbe River, journey through time as you see the city’s historic bridges and castles. You will sail under the river’s famed historic bridges, culminating in the Loschwitz Bridge. Nicknamed the “Blue Wonder,” it is a majestic blue ribbon stretched across the river.

See the past through Dresden’s palaces and castles

Dresden's whispers of grandeur start beyond the Blue Wonder, where the river murmurs of lavish parties hosted in the manicured gardens of Lingner Palace. Further upstream, the mighty Albrechtsburg Castle, perched on a rocky crag, pierces the sky with its proud towers. Finally, as you return to Terrassenufer, the whimsical Wasserwerk Saloppe, a water tower disguised as a Venetian palazzo, adds a touch of playful charm to your regal journey. Let these whispers enrich your Dresden experience with a touch of magic.
