Boat Trip – Kick Off the Weekend: Relaxing into the Evening Hours
The historic boat glides silently over the Vils, the evening sun reflects on the water, and the old town of Amberg comes into reach. During the Boat Trip – Kick Off the Weekend, you will experience an unmistakable event experience with medieval flair, a gentle sense of nature, and an audience atmosphere that immediately puts you in a vacation mood.
Old Town from the Water: City Glasses, Walls, River Romance
Start and end point is the pier at Schiffbrücke in Schiffgasse. From here, a perspective unfolds that you can never get on land: the iconic city glasses, the almost completely preserved city wall, and the narrow alleys of the old town. The splashing of the Vils, the wood of the boat under your hands, the gentle breeze – this event atmosphere shapes the unique experience.
Evening Mode On: Organization, Times, Target Audience Address
The Kick Off the Weekend boat trips are timed for a relaxed end to the week. The organization by the Amberg Tourist Information ensures clear departure times, a harmonious route, and reliable event planning. Ideal for couples, friend groups, colleague teams, and culture-loving connoisseurs who want to slow down after work.
Comfortable Planning: Tickets, Prices, Capacity
You can secure tickets in advance online or at the Tourist Information. For 2026, the published rate of 10.00 euros per person applies for the evening trip. Up to 28 people can travel per boat. Note regarding accessibility: Access to the boat is unfortunately not barrier-free; strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs cannot be taken on board.
