The EMS Hennesee operates year-round. During the winter months, the ship sails on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the summer months, it sails Tuesday through Sunday, and even daily during school breaks in North Rhine-Westphalia!
Numerous events take place on the EMS Hennesee: brunch, parties, and culinary events. There’s even a Christmas market on the ship during the Advent season.
The former MS Hennesee was sold, technically overhauled, and is now in service on Lake Berzdorf near Görlitz.
The Hennesee is particularly popular with active guests; cyclists, inline skaters, and Nordic walkers can be found along its eastern shore. On warm days, swimmers flock to the swimming cove, and it’s known among anglers as a prime fishing spot. Incidentally, tech-savvy day-trippers can tour the inside of the dam and get a close-up look at the machinery, pumps, and turbines.
