Charter the Oesterreich

In the footsteps of yesteryear

You can't leave behind any footsteps in the water. No wave reveals where the journey is headed. But being on board the Oesterreich really does something – deep down inside. Dazzle your guests and invite them to a private party, birthday celebration or jubilee day that will truly be one to remember. The Oesterreich is a feast for the eyes. The ship is adorned with the finest woods, elegant colours, authentic fabrics, hand-woven wicker chairs, premium wall tapestries, marquetry and much more.

Welcome to the port of marriage

What better place to say “I do” than on board the dream ships of Lake Constance's historic Schifffahrt Bodensee. Charter the Oesterreich or Hohentwiel for the most beautiful day of your life. Make your marriage ceremony on board – officiated by the captain, if requested – an unforgettable experience. Always on board: Our first-class on-board catering staff made up of chef Heino Huber and his team.

Private and business charters

The Oesterreich is the direct historical successor of the Hohentwiel. It has 142 seats in the dinner saloon, women's saloon and dance saloon. In addition, the free decks on the upper and main deck offer a further 140 seats. A bar on the main deck and one on the upper deck provide additional options.

Noblesse oblige

If you would like to charter the Oesterreich, we recommend making an early reservation. We'd be happy to discuss your desired date, number of participants, departure times, route, on-board catering, musical entertainment and other details. The Oesterreich is equipped with state-of-the-art event equipment and technology. It is winter-proof and can therefore be operated and chartered all year round. We look forward to welcoming you and your guests aboard the Oesterreich!
