A trip on one of our company's three passenger ships provides delightful insights into the entire reservoir area. Each ship has its own charm - you will feel at home. All the ships have one thing in common: you can stay in the heated inside cabin with on-board catering during the trip.

For special trips, the menu can be extended by arrangement. We also serve suckling pig, freshly smoked trout or a complete evening buffet.

The MS "Hohenwarte",

with a length of 28.5 m, a width of 5.1 m, 75 t weight and 144 seats has been sailing on the reservoir since 1980. The ship is Fully air-conditioned and its comfort offers a wide range of possibilities for organizing celebrations of all kinds.

The ship was built in 1980 in the Berlin yacht shipyard and in August of the same year it made its maiden voyage along the waterways to Halle, where it was loaded onto a heavy-duty transporter and taken along highways and country roads to the reservoir near Altenroth.

The MS "Saaletal"

has enriched the company since 1994. It previously sailed at the Deutsches Eck near Koblenz. The ship is 25 m long, 5.85 m wide, offers space for 175 persons space and weighs 37 tons.

The ship was built in 1927 as a passenger ship and extensively rebuilt in 1965.
In March 1994, it traveled 550 km along the Rhine, Main and Main-Danube Canal to Nuremberg. The ship passed through 41 locks and climbed a total of 232 meters.  

The MS "Saaleland"

was built in 1983 as the MS "Lipperland" at the Oberweser shipyard. With a length of 29.5 m, a width of 6.1 m and an unladen weight of 100 tons, it offers space for 348 persons.

Until 2003, the ship sailed on Lake Schiedersee in North Rhine-Westphalia. After being acquired by the company, the entire upper deck was painstakingly sawn off for the journey from the Lipperland to the Saalestrand and transported in two parts over 700 km by land to the Hohenwarte reservoir. Using two huge mobile cranes, the ship was returned to the water at the dam wall, then expertly welded and extended by two side entrances, making it a combined head and side berth that enables us to moor at any point on the reservoir.
