Short and Mini Cruises

Forget everyday life for a few days and begin with fantastic views in pure relaxation and recreation

Our short and mini cruises on the Danube and Rhine are not only interesting for river beginners as a short trip to try out, but also provide experienced cruise lovers with a little relaxation in between.

On our floating hotels you can breathe in the riverside air and treat yourself to a short break with exciting moments and indulgent experiences. Nature and city lovers will get their money's worth here, as will river adventurers and music enthusiasts.

How about a party atmosphere and live music? Then we recommend our Sail Away cruises - a unique evening full of music, dancing and good mood is guaranteed here!
