Easter on the Elbe: the Wheel Steamer sets sail again

The popular historic paddlewheel steamer Labe returns to the river again this year and will offer a unique experience of cruising through the picturesque landscape of North Bohemia during the Easter holidays. Visitors can look forward to the combination of an engineering monument with the beauty of the Elbe valley and the festive atmosphere.

The cruises will take place from 3 to 6 April 2026 on selected tourist lines. On Friday and Saturday, the steamer will sail from Ústí nad Labem towards Hřensko, and on Saturday it will sail to Bad Schandau in Germany. On Sunday and Monday it will be deployed on the route between Ústí nad Labem and Nučnice.

The historic Elbe steamboat, which was put into operation in 1949, commemorates the famous tradition of Elbe steam navigation and is one of the important technical and tourist attractions of the region.

The Easter cruises also symbolically open the tourist season on the Elbe River, which this year will offer regular boat services until autumn.

Take to the water at Easter and enjoy an unusual trip combined with the unique atmosphere of a historic cruise.
