Excursion programme Can only be booked directly on board. You will receive a brief description of the programme with your travel documents. Depending on the composition of participants, the excursions may be offered bilingually in German and English

We reserve the right to make changes to the timetable and programme. If, for example, a route cannot be travelled due to low water, high water or bad weather, the captain reserves the right to change the route for your safety (this is not a reason for cancellation free of charge). The same applies in the event of officially ordered lock and/or bridge repairs that have not been announced in advance.

Other information Please bear in mind that your river boat is not only your "holiday hotel" but also a piece of work equipment that moves with engine power and has to be operated constantly, even at night (sometimes with lock and bridge crossings). We recommend that guests who are particularly sensitive to noise bring earplugs. The lock passages are disruptive and unfortunately cannot be changed.

Travel documents EU nationals (who do not have any special circumstances, e.g. dual citizenship, primary residence abroad or provisionally issued travel documents) require a valid identity card or passport for this trip, which must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the trip. If you have a different nationality or several nationalities or if you have to comply with special legal regulations, please contact your local consulate for information on the relevant visa and entry requirements. This tour is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.
