Many historic cities and villages have emerged along the banks of the river including Prague, the vibrant capital of the Czech Republic. The pretty sights of the fairytale city will enthral and captivate you as you sail along the River Elbe. There are many attractions in the city including a renowned sculpture of Jan Hus in the old town square which was created in the 10th century. The largest concert hall in Prague, the Municipal House, is another must-see as it is an incredible example of the city's renowned architecture. Inside you will find the exquisite Smetana Hall which has a spectacular Art Nouveau glass ceiling. Shore excursions to Prague during Elbe river cruises offer you the opportunity to witness a diverse range of architecture including Cubist, Gothic, Art Nouveau, Baroque and Neo-Classical.         

During an Elbe river cruise you will also have the opportunity to explore lesser known ports of call such as the sophisticated German city of Magdeburg, where tree-lined avenues and large boulevards give an elegant atmosphere to the city. The historic city of Wittenberg is another popular stop on cruises along the renowned waterway. Many of our cruises offer guests the opportunity to go ashore and visit the city's sights, several of which are connected to Martin Luther. Highlights of this region include the 14th century St Mary's Church and the Schlosskirche, which is also known as the Castle Church.

Every cruise ship is designed to capture the mesmerising panoramas of hill-top castles, vineyards and medieval settlements along the River Elbe. Cruise ships feature large picture windows throughout as well as stylish lounges where you can admire the passing scenery in comfort. On deck you can enjoy an invigorating breeze whilst witnessing some of Europe's most picturesque vistas. 

All Elbe river cruises are aboard sophisticated ships that offer an informal atmosphere, where you can socialise with your fellow passengers and enjoy a drink at the bar. The ship's restaurant serves a variety of delicious international and national cuisine. Breakfast is a buffet of eggs, pastries, fresh fruit, cheese, bread and a variety of other dishes. Several courses are served for lunch, as well as a light alternative such as salad. Guests are treated to a gourmet multi-course menu, which is accompanied by a selection of delectable wines.
