Relaxed Summer Evening on the Weser
Experience Bremen & Breminale from the waterside. A spot on deck, a light breeze in your face and a cool summer drink in hand – this is how a perfect summer evening on the Weser begins. Experience a relaxed after-work evening cruise in Bremen and discover Breminale from a very special perspective: from the water.
Your floating summer lounge departs from Martinianleger and travels along the Schlachte and the modern Overseas Quarter to Pier2/Waterfront landing stage. After a brief stop, it continues upstream towards Osterdeich – directly along Breminale with its stalls, tents and stages.
