Internal Waterways in Germany

[Masboroughlad]

Is there a map overview of internal ferry/cruise routes in Germany?

Try this:

or

I had to look up the German for inland waterways = Binnenwasserstraßen, and then searched google for that plus "Karte" = map. There seems to be a fair bit of info.

Edit: sorry, I think you meant routes run by ferries/cruise ships rather than a map of the waterways themselves.

Sorry, can't quickly locate one, but here is a map of the navigable waterways

Are you looking for day trips or hotel ships?

Beaten to it!

Try searching Personenschifffahrt + a river name.
The major non-hotel operations are on the Rhine/Main (Frankfurt-Duesseldorf) and Moselle, the Elbe either side of Dresden, the Mecklenburg Lakes, the Berlin area, the Danube and I think the Middle Weser .

Both waterways and ship routes (ferry and larger) would be helpful, particularly day or overnight trips.

A cruiseroute is normaly between Duesseldorf and Mainz + the river Mosel till about Cochem.

This link below is the main operator on the Rhine.

K-D have competition on the Rhine Gorge section.

There are other operators on the Mosel and Saar above Cochem, but I'm not sure you can do the whole route in a sensible manner - it's rather bitty (older members may remember the Salters Steamers timetable on the Thames...).

The major operator on the Elbe is the Dresden White Fleet, between Meissen and the Czech border. https://www.saechsische-dampfschiffahrt.de

The Flotte Weser runs regularly on a couple of sections of the Weser upstream of Minden. https://www.flotte-weser.de

Potsdam and Lake Mueritz all have extensive operations, otherwise you're looking at short sightseeing trips.

There are several upmarket cruise ships, Viking Line is just one, operating multi-day trips on the Rhine and Mosel, and via the Main-Donau Kanal to the Danube, or along the Elbe to Dresden and Prague.
