Mother and son traveling. We'd need two rooms. son works until 12/22. Could he join on the 23rd.

We have reached out to the operator to see if your son can join on the 23rd Dec 2023. The operator has advised that it would be possible for the second passenger to board the ship on Day 4 in Wittenberg - in the morning. However, river cruise schedules are always subject to change due to the weather, water levels, etc.

I would like to book Christmas on the Elbe, from Dec. 20 to 26, but for THIS YEAR, not for 2024. is there any availability?

For this cruise here, there are no dates in December 2024. However, we do have many amazing cruises on the Elbe in December 2023.

Do people get seasick on the trip?

Your chances of getting motion sickness on river cruises is much smaller because there's less motion. On the rivers, you're not dealing with ocean waves and currents. But for most rivers in the US and Europe, the motion felt on the boats is significantly reduced.

Interested Departure Date: Tuesday 20 December, 2022

Cabin category A on the Main Deck is completely sold out. We have quoted pricing in cabin category B on the main deck. The price is USD $2202 for 1 traveller in a 1 x 2 adjustable Twin Beds Cabin Category B(14 m², high opening window) located on the main deck onboard the MS Elbe Princesse departing on 20 Dec, 2022.

It was a relaxing cruise, great food and a comfortable cabin. Due to extreme heat, we only managed the night tour and some time on our own at the lowest port. The rest of the time was on deck in the shade or enjoying refreshments in the lounge. Our only concern was that we purchased the cruise with the understanding that it was an English cruise but in reality it was all French with only 4 English speaking persons aboard. The Staff tried their best to include us But we mostly could not hear the announcements over the noise of the other passengers enjoying themselves!Show more
