Mecklenburg & Brandenburg cruise and boating information

Mecklenburg & Brandenburg

Mecklenburg and Brandenburg are known for their natural beauty, especially the coasts and lake districts. Numerous islands, peninsulas, bays, lagoons, and lakes offer beautiful views and recreational opportunities.

Some of the most famous attractions are the islands of Ruegen, Usedom, Mueritz, and the Fischland-Darss-Zingst peninsula.

The magnificent lakeside castle at Schwerin, the castles of Güstrow, Rheinsberg, Furstenberg, Mecklenburg and Neuztrelitz punctuate the landscape and provide a glimpse into the aristocratic lifestyles of bygone eras.

Hire dinghies, kayaks and canoes on Lake Muritz or dive in for a cooling swim! Alternatively, sit back and admire the scenery from your sundeck.

From our bases in this region, explore the quirky Dutch Quarter and enjoy open-air summer concerts in the beautiful Sanssouci castle. Why not head over to Berlin for a fantastic, unique city break? See the iconic Brandenberg Gate, futuristic architecture and lively pavement cafes.

Alternatively, cruise to the east to discover the open waters of the Spreewald, a vast, protected nature reserve lined with pretty villages and pine forests. Medieval timber-framed villages border the waterways; visit their traditional smokehouses for a taste of the day's catch!
