Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, delights visitors with a multitude of attractions and cultural highlights. The impressive canals that run through the entire city centre, with their historic gabled houses, invite visitors to take a stroll or a boat trip. Art lovers will enjoy the world-famous Rijksmuseum, which exhibits works by masters such as Rembrandt, as well as the Van Gogh Museum, which houses the largest collection of works by the famous painter. The Anne Frank House is a powerful reminder of the history of the Second World War. The spacious Vondelpark or the Hortus Botanicus botanical garden are ideal for relaxation. Those who want to experience the typical flair of the city can stroll through the flower market or discover the charming Jordaan and De Pijp districts with their cafés, boutiques and markets.

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.
