The most charming way to travel
An old sailor’s saying goes: “Where you cannot sail, you must row”. Or pedal! And where could be better than in Germany? With the many beautiful rivers and rough coastline along the North Sea and Baltic Sea, Germany offers the perfect material for a successful bike and boat tour. And the ships serving as hotel on these tours promise guests the necessary comfort and well-being needed for an unforgettable holiday.

I am packing my suitcase…
If you are planning a trip to Germany, you should be prepared for all weather conditions. Think of the all-important garments such as a rain jacket, good headwear, comfortable footwear and comfortable sportswear! But you should also make room in your case for something light, because it can get pretty hot even in Germany and you will also find a place for the little black dress aboard the ship at dinner. Bear in mind, however, that a cool breeze can always be expected in summer and a jacket cannot hurt in the evenings.
The favourite dish of the Germans
Although this dish is known all over the world, it is still known as German cuisine and is regarded as one of the German’s favourite dishes. Of course, we are talking about Sauerkraut. Due to its high vitamin content, sauerkraut was a very popular and cheap food that protected people from deficiency. It was also known to protect sailors from getting the dreaded illness scurvy. Whether sauerkraut is still the favourite dish today is an open question. The fact is that they like to eat sauerkraut in this country, particularly with potatoes and bratwurst. But the German cuisine has many more delicacies to discovered! We wish you “guten Appetit!”
