    We had the captain's cabin. And considering that I was only traveling with my six-year-old son, that alone was wonderful. There was a small model of the ship inside, which he really appreciated. And the small round ship windows were also a plus.

    Epic experience with an awesome location, very quiet. Small, comfy room with awesome heater and window, even an own sink. You can use the breakfast room to relax, work, connect. Very nice staff (when they were there).

    Charming place with a magical atmosphere and New Year’s maritime traditions and even a decorated New Year’s tree on the bow of the ship. Having coffee in the morning at the cafe on board while watching the sun rise on the Elbe is something...

    Nice place, friendly staff, you may want to consider their breakfast if you wanna a substantial and practical meal before starting the day with eggs, ham, bacon, musli, fruit etc. But nothing super special, just a good option and pragmatic choice.

    The location is great, within walking distance of the historic centre of Dresden, and very close to the Neustadt train station. And it's lovely to have ducks swimming by your window! Breakfast is superb too. And it's not cold at all.
