Elbe River Cruises
One of the major waterways of Central Europe, the Elbe River rises in the Krkonose Mountains of the north-western Czech Republic. It is located in the former Eastern Europe region of Germany after crossing Bohemia and finally flows into the North Sea at Cuxhaven which is 110 km northwest of Hamburg.
The Elbe River acts as a gateway to Eastern Europe. There is an exciting mix of medieval cities and towns from the Bohemian capital Prague, to Hamburg and through the sensational hovering sandstone mountains of Saxon Switzerland as you cruise along the Elbe to indulge in a breathtaking scenic journey.
Aboard your Elbe River Cruise, you can find many treasures on the banks of Elbe such as Dresden , the "Florence of the Elbe", the pottery of Meissen, the gardens and palaces of Worlitz, the cradle of the Reformation, 18th century Pillnitz Castle, Luther's Wittenberg which is a UNECSO World Heritage Site and Magdeberg and its Gothic Cathedral.
The embarking and disembarking cities range from Prague, Decin, Hamburg or Magdeburg - all have much to offer as pre or post cruise stays. An Elbe River Cruise is a great way to explore Prague and ideal for discovering the unspoiled beauty of former East Germany's fascinating landscape.
An Elbe River cruise has so much to offer in addition to the contrasting array of sights, ranging from splendid palaces and modern architecture to furious mountains and beautifully landscaped gardens, with medieval cities and contemporary culture all in between! No other river in Europe can come close to the Elbe River in offering such a diverse order of sights and places.
As the Elbe River often has low and high water levels, the cruising period is short.
