# WEISSE FLOTTE Schwerin Boat en Schwerin Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/companies/weisse-flotte-schwerin Schwerin's white fleet: routes on the lakes and to the island of Kaninchenwerder from the landing stage opposite the palace, from March to December. ## Who they are WEISSE FLOTTE Fahrgastschiffahrt Schwerin GmbH is the passenger shipping company of Lake Schwerin, the Schweriner See, and the lakes around it. It is based at Werderstraße 140 and sends its boats from the Anleger Schloss, the landing stage right opposite the palace, in the heart of the city. Its website does not say since when it has been sailing or who is behind the company; it does explain the fleet, the routes and the travel conditions in detail. ## The fleet It sails with five boats of very different sizes. The MS Mecklenburg, from 1989, is the largest, with 150 seats inside and 100 on the upper deck. The MS Lübz (1973, refitted in 2001) carries 130 inside and 144 above; the MS Schwerin (1979, refitted in 1994), 120 inside, 12 of them in a small bow lounge, and 112 above; and the MS Berlin, from 1980, 60 inside and 84 on deck. The jewel is the MS Elfriede, a boat from 1921 for twenty people that is only hired exclusively. Cold and hot drinks and something to eat are served on board. ## What it offers and in which season The season runs from March to December, with regular routes that change according to the month. The 4-Seen-Linie, an hour and a half, covers four lakes daily from April to October; the Große Insellinie, also an hour and a half, stops at the island of Kaninchenwerder from May to September. In summer there is a two-and-a-half-hour sunset cruise on Saturdays from June to August and, in July and August, on Wednesdays too. In November and December the two-hour Große Winterlinie runs from Wednesday to Sunday, as long as there is no ice or fog. They also schedule trips on fixed dates: kale meals on Sundays in November and December, St Martin's goose in November, a parade of the fleet in spring and themed trips throughout the year. Stops at Zippendorf must be requested beforehand and depend on the weather. ## Groups and hire They hire out whole boats for weddings (also with a ceremony on board), anniversaries, family parties and company events. Groups of ten or more can ask for trips outside the regular timetable, and travel agencies have offers of their own. ## Booking, refunds and accessibility Tickets are bought in its online shop and arrive by email at no extra cost. Once bought, they cannot be cancelled or exchanged for money; if the company cancels a trip, it refunds the whole price, and if it interrupts it halfway, the proportional part. In wind or bad weather it may refund the ticket or exchange it for another trip with places. Reduced tickets, such as children's, require proof. Animals are only allowed aboard if agreed beforehand. The lower deck of the MS Schwerin is accessible without steps via the gangway; on the MS Mecklenburg there are two steps, overcome with a mobile ramp, and the MS Lübz is not suitable for wheelchairs. No boat has an adapted toilet and the crew cannot help with boarding, so it is best to go with someone and write beforehand to have them confirm which boat will make the trip. ## Languages The website is in German and does not say in which languages the commentary on board is given; if it matters to you, ask when you book. ## What they run - [Boat trip on the Schwerin lakes](https://www.geocalia.com/en/germany/mecklenburg-western-pomerania/schwerin/things-to-do/schwerin-lake-boat), in Schwerin. 4-Seen-Linie, 1 h 30 on the Schweriner See, the Ziegelsee and the Heidensee.
