The "Sächsische Dampfschiffahrt" has the oldest and largest paddle steamer fleet in the world with its nine historical steamers. The steamer "Diesbar" holds another record; this ship has the oldest steam engine in operation (from 1841) on a river steamer worldwide. Take some time out and enjoy the breathtaking views between the Saxon Wine Road and Saxon Switzerland.
Our fleet is further complemented with our two motor vessels "August der Starke" and "Gräfin Cosel". During the warmer seasons, you can enjoy trips and parties on mild summer evenings in an air-conditioned setting on board. In the winter and Christmas period we invite you to a warm and festive ambience with atmospheric advent moments on board.
Since 2013 we have been responsible for the hospitality and well-being of our guests while they enjoy the wide range of trips offered by WEIßE FLOTTE SACHSEN GmbH. In addition to catering in numerous locations around Dresden, the catering facilities at Dresden Zoo were added in February 2016, where we are taking care of the well-being of visitors in “Africa Lodge” and “Pinguincafé”.
A perfect location is the cornerstone of a successful event. As an innovative, passionate and regional company we not just offer the ships and zoos as a location, but also different locations around Dresden. Thanks to our partners, we can proudly say “We have a variety of wonderful locations to from which to choose”. Whether technical, elegant, rustic or natural – together we will find the right location!
Our vision is to be THE partner for a surprisingly new, diverse, authentic and emotional kind of catering. We love food. In all its forms and variations. Regardless of whether it is, for example, the classic grill buffet at our shipyard, a vegetarian buffet for a leisurely boat trip, a delicious 4-course menu in the Transport Museum or a “Flying buffet” at Hermsdorf Castle – we will work with you to develop the right catering for your special event at the location of your choice. We break the usual boundaries of catering by shaping our steamship DNA, our cross-headed thinking and our unconditional quality standards into a new and sustainable customer experience!
Every employee, whether in service, in the kitchen or your direct personal contact will do their best every day to further develop our catering, step by step, and thus ensure our contribution to your event.
And the team is not comprised only of us. We have maintained partnerships with regional companies for many years. This guarantees high quality from the surrounding area.
