Cruises along the Lower Oder Valley

A Tourist Gem Within Easy Reach! This season, a ship will operate from Szczecin to Gartz (Oder) via Mescherin, allowing visitors to discover the picturesque landscapes of the Lower Oder Valley.

The cruise on the Szczecin–Mescherin–Gartz route is a unique journey through one of the most valuable natural areas along the Polish-German border. It offers an opportunity to admire the remarkable scenery of the Międzyodrze region, the vast wetlands, and the floodplains of the Lower Oder Valley from the perspective of the river.

During the voyage, passengers may observe cranes, white-tailed eagles, herons, and cormorants, as well as extraordinary aquatic vegetation and extensive reed beds that create this unique landscape.

Discover the Lower Oder Valley by Boat or Bicycle.

The transport of pets is permitted under the supervision of their owner or caretaker, provided that the animal does not pose a threat or cause excessive inconvenience to other passengers, the crew, or the vessel. Each animal must have a valid pet passport when crossing a border. More information: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/pets-and-other-animals/index_en.htm.

Passengers are obliged to comply with all applicable regulations regarding border crossings and tourist and cycling traffic in the Polish-German border region.
