Riverboat trips

No visit to Decin would be complete without a boat trip on the Elbe. Enjoy the scenery from a comfortable seat on deck with a cup of coffee. The Elbe sandstones provide an unforgettable backdrop and boat excursions can be combined with hiking or cycling trips to explore the area further. A bike trail runs alongside the river and riverboats will carry both you and your bike.

Riverboats dock on the bank near the castle, just across from the visitor information center in the library. You can park your car on the big lot there. Cruises run to Hrensko, Bad Schandau, and Dresden. Or you can go to Meissen, the Saxon spa town of Kurort Rathen, or the castle at Pillnitz. The Bohemia, Orion, and Poseidon, which all dock in Decin, have on-board food service.

Boats run year-round with regular service between April and October and on Advent weekends.

A timetable is available online.
