A Moonlight Cruise Like 100 Years Ago
Step aboard for a unique journey back in time: 100 years after the very first moonlight cruise of the Schreiber-Reederei, we return to the Weser for an evening filled with history, music, and maritime atmosphere.
In 1926, the young Schreiber-Reederei, a historic Bremen shipping company, announced its first regular timetable for service to the north of Bremen. To launch the new schedule, the company invited guests on a moonlight cruise to Blumenthal – on June 19, 1926, aboard the steamship “Libelle”. A festive ball awaited the guests at the destination. Exactly 100 years later, we pick up that thread once more.
Today's cruise sails on the MS “Hanseat”, which has been in service on the Weser since 1988 and remains part of our fleet to this day.
Maritime Entertainment by HafenRevue Theater
During the cruise, a special highlight awaits you on board: the ensemble of HafenRevue Theater Bremen brings the city's harbour and shipping history directly onto the Weser, with shows, music, and anecdotes.
Look forward to:
- Live shows and maritime performances on board
- Stories from the Bremen overseas harbour
- Anecdotes from 100 years of shipping history
- Songs from the famous harbour revues
A combination of culture, history, and live entertainment – available only on this one evening.
Refreshments on Board – Welcome Drink and Finger Food
From the moment you step on board, you will be welcomed with a welcome drink. During the cruise, we serve a selection of finger food to round off your evening at sea.

On Board Our Ships
To help you enjoy your trip in comfort, we have compiled everything you need to know about life on board.
When can I board the ship?
Boarding is possible from 15 minutes before departure at the designated pier. An earlier boarding time can be arranged upon request.
In the event of delays beyond our control, or if the ship is made available earlier than scheduled, waiting time charges may apply.
Where does the trip go?
Our trips usually start and end at the Martini pier in Bremen's city centre. On request, the trip can also begin or end at a different pier — in this case, a deadheading surcharge will apply.
The route depends on the duration of your trip and can be freely chosen by you. Tides, lock operating times, bridge opening times, and speed restrictions will need to be taken into account.
If your preferred route is not possible, we will find a suitable alternative together. A stopover during your trip is of course possible.
What languages are spoken on board?
Our crew speaks German. Menus and buffet signage can also be provided in English or in both German and English.
If you would like English-speaking service staff on board, please let us know and we will do our best to arrange it. For English or other language commentary on the route and sights, we can arrange an external speaker (at additional cost).
What is the price for children?
Children under 4 travel free of charge. For children aged 4 to 13, we charge half price for catering.
Any supervision of children on board required must be provided by the organiser. We are happy to accommodate children's wishes when it comes to catering.
Is smoking allowed on board?
Smoking is permitted on the outer decks in designated areas. Smoking is not allowed in any indoor areas.
Will I get seasick on board?
On the Weser and its tributaries, there is usually no swell. Our ships therefore generally do not rock. Due to passing traffic, turning, and docking manoeuvres, the ship may move slightly for brief moments.
On trips in the Weser estuary, for example near Bremerhaven, some swell may be noticeable.
