Enjoy a relaxing getaway on the Danube with the DCS Amethyst 1 and experience a relaxing introductory cruise from and to Passau. During a leisurely panoramic cruise, you’ll discover the winter river landscape in a special atmosphere.
Look forward to a fun-filled evening on board with music and dancing, as well as the enchanting Christmas market at the cathedral in Passau’s Old Town. A perfect blend of enjoyment, entertainment, and winter charm.

Passau is an old Bavarian city not far from the Austrian border. The rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz flow together in Passau, which is why it is also called the "Three-River City". One of the many sights is the Veste Oberhaus, which served as the residence of the noble bishop of the high monastery of Passau. Passau is the starting point of our cruises on the Danube.
Arrive comfortably with your own car! Through our partner Globus Group we can offer you two variants for the parking of your vehicle in Passau. Depending on your preference, you can choose between open space or multi-storey car park. The transfer from the parking lot to the jetty and also at the end of your journey from the jetty back to your car is included for you! Reserve your desired parking space directly when booking online or at a later date using the completed reservation form.
