THE ROUTE

From the Martinianleger to Waterfront and back

The route runs downstream from the Schlachte toward Überseestadt and the Waterfront (Pier 2) where a special stop allows passengers to disembark for shopping or to join the city on foot; the return trip runs upriver past the Osterdeich and the Breminale.

THE FESTIVAL

Breminale from the water

The cruise places you alongside the Breminale’s colorful mix of stands, tents and stages, giving a broad, continuous view of the free music and culture festival as the ship passes the festival shoreline.

THE MOMENT

An easy, after‑work ritual

Everything the trip asks of you is simple: find a spot on deck, face the river, enjoy a cool summer drink and let the panorama unfold — a short urban escape that feels like a holiday evening.
