Along the way, you’ll pass impressive landmarks, navigate through numerous locks, and discover historic cities such as Lüneburg, Wolfsburg, Brandenburg/Havel, and Potsdam. The trip winds down in Berlin with its world-famous sights.
Aboard the comfortable MS Florentina, you'll enjoy a relaxed atmosphere as stunning waterways and diverse landscapes pass by.
Situated on the Elbe and Alster rivers lies the long-established Hanseatic city of Hamburg, which captivates visitors with its large harbor, impressive architecture, and numerous attractions. Among its most famous landmarks are the Elbphilharmonie and the historic Landungsbrücken. The Speicherstadt is particularly worth seeing; together with the Kontorhaus district, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The magnificent Hamburg City Hall and St. Michael’s Church—affectionately known as “Michel”—also define the cityscape. With the Binnenalster, the lively St. Pauli district, and the famous Reeperbahn, Hamburg offers a diverse blend of history, culture, and big-city life.
Wolfsburg, a young and modern city, is located on the Mittelland Canal and is best known for its close ties to Volkswagen. Among its most popular attractions is the Autostadt, with its extraordinary pavilions, exhibitions, and interactive experiences centered on the theme of mobility. Also worth visiting is the phaeno science museum, which captivates visitors with its extraordinary architecture and numerous hands-on exhibits. The historic Wolfsburg Castle, with its sprawling park, offers a contrast to the city’s modern side.
Rothensee, located north of Magdeburg, is a major hub for the waterways surrounding the Elbe. A notable engineering feature is the historic Rothensee ship lift, which transported ships between the Mittelland Canal and the harbor area. Nearby stands the impressive canal bridge at the Magdeburg waterway junction, where the Mittelland Canal crosses the Elbe. Magdeburg’s downtown is also quickly accessible from Rothensee. Among the city’s landmarks are the imposing Magdeburg Cathedral, the historic town hall, and the colorful Hundertwasser House, known as the “Green Citadel.”

With its majestic castles, sprawling parks, and charming lake landscape, Potsdam is one of Germany’s most beautiful royal cities. Sanssouci Palace is world-famous for its terraced vineyards and impressive park, which, along with other castles, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another must-see is the Dutch Quarter with its red-brick houses and the historic Nauener Gate. The New Palace and Cecilienhof Palace also serve as reminders of the glorious past of Brandenburg’s capital. The numerous lakes and branches of the Havel River uniquely blend nature, history, and magnificent architecture.
Tegel, located in the north of the German capital, is a green and water-rich district of Berlin offering numerous opportunities for varied adventures. The Greenwich Promenade along Lake Tegel, with its expansive lakeside paths and beautiful views, invites visitors to take a leisurely stroll. Not far from there is the magnificent Tegel Palace, once the residence of the von Humboldt family, as well as “Dicke Marie,” considered Berlin’s oldest tree. The historic village church of Alt-Tegel and the lively pedestrian zone around Gorkistraße are also worth a visit.
