The Steinhuder Personenschifffahrt offers an authentic way to experience the charm of Lake Steinhude from the water. Scheduled boat services connect the mainland with the island of Wilhelmstein and the northern shore, making it easy to explore one of Lower Saxony’s most scenic regions. In addition to regular routes, special cruises can be arranged for groups and private events, adding a personal touch to any occasion. Travellers can enjoy the unique atmosphere aboard the historic motorised sailing boats, each licensed for 25 to 30 passengers and even equipped to carry bicycles. The fleet also includes the passenger vessel “Steinhude,” which operates regular panoramic tours along the shoreline. These leisurely cruises provide beautiful views of the lake’s shimmering waters, the surrounding reed belts, and the gentle landscape beyond. For a particularly atmospheric experience, evening cruises offer the opportunity to watch the sunset from the water, casting a golden glow across the horizon. Whether for families, school classes, or individual visitors, a journey on the Steinhuder Personenschifffahrt combines relaxation, nature, and a touch of maritime tradition — the perfect way to discover the beauty of the Steinhuder Meer.
