Trip information
This is where you board
In Elsfleth, you can experience maritime flair in a charming small town. Our ship was launched here in 1911, just a few kilometres down the river. Located directly at the harbour, the Maritime Museum has an exhibition illustrating the shipbuilding era of that time, the history of shipping on the Weser and maritime life in the Wesermarsch region. Interactive stations, models and original exhibits such as historical navigation devices and portraits of captains give you a vivid picture of seafaring. The old nautical school with its striking architecture dominates the townscape and stands for the long tradition as a training location for seafarers. A walk along the Weser beach offers great views of the water and passing ships. The beautiful market square and St. Nicolai Church invite you to linger.
