Enjoy the wildly romantic nature and landscape of the Lower Inn Valley between the enchanting baroque town of Schärding and the charming three-river town of Passau.

Even today, the sturdy iron pegs of the Inn riverbank in the town of Schärding are a reminder of the cargo ships and rafts that were moored here. The eventful Inn river cruise begins at this interesting and historic location in the fascinating baroque Inn town of Schärding. It will be just as unforgettable as the  famous Silberzeile and the many other sights of the town 

During the cruise, we will spoil you with down-to-earth dishes from the galley and coffee with delicious desserts as well as chilled drinks. The ambience of our ships makes every excursion an extraordinary experience with lasting memories.

Europe's 1st BREWERY SHIP

A ship, a beer, a gunner

With fourteen breweries, Schärding was once a centre of brewing in the Innviertel region for a long time. The pretty baroque town also had the thirsty Inn boatmen to thank for this. A resourceful captain and passionate beer lover is continuing this tradition and bringing beer brewing directly to the Inn. Europe's first brewery ship has been underway since the beginning of 2016.

Captain Manfred Schaurecker found a handful of allies - all beer enthusiasts - and together with them began to painstakingly learn what other Innviertler had long since learnt in advance: the art of brewing. So it's a good thing that his ships unite what the Inn seems to separate: the Innviertel and Bavaria.

The effort has paid off and steam is soon rising from the chimney of the Salzfürstenschiff. Not only from the engine room, but also from the copper boiler of the new Innviertel microbrewery. It had to be copper, because the captain doesn't like modern stainless steel systems in his house or on his ship. He is a traditionalist.

The museum-like character does not end with the brewing technology. Helga Stiegler, the good soul of the floating pub, is a beer lover herself and has created a cosy interior. She is the one who likes to experiment and ensures that no two brews are the same. Her name alone stands for the history of cosy beer bliss in Schärding. Ever since the French bombarded the town with cannons from the Bavarian side of the Inn in 1809, the pub, which was run by her ancestors in Wieningerstraße until 1942, was known as "Zur Kanone". It is almost logical that the floating brewery is called "Kanonenbräu".

The ship's brewery could produce 300 bottles of beer every day. Nevertheless, the beer will remain a rarity, as Captain Schaureckers' ship will continue to ferry its guests back and forth along the Inn between Schärding and Passau. However, anyone who wants to can now brew their own authentic beer during the round trip under expert guidance and taste the "powder keg beer" straight away. In addition to the matching dishes, you will also find fifteen other beer specialities from the Innviertel beer region on the galley menu.
