ADVENT FERRY RIDES
LET‘S CAST OFF
WolfgangseeSchifffahrt ferries set course for Advent
A boat trip across the wintry Lake Wolfgangsee is perhaps the most beautiful way to immerse yourself in Advent. The ships carry you across the water from one Advent market to the next between the towns of St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang. Immerse yourself in a magical world of a thousand lights and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere to the fullest.
Advent Magic for the Whole Family
Every Advent Sunday, children up to 14 years old ride free of charge on the Wolfgangsee Advent Cruise when accompanied by an adult.
In order to ensure optimal operations, only one landing stage will be served in the Advent locations of St. Gilgen, Strobl, and St. Wolfgang!
In St. Wolfgang, the landing stage at St. Wolfgang SchafbergBahn will be used for logistical reasons.
TIP: 3-in-1 Ticket
With just one ticket, you can travel by water to all three festive Advent markets around Lake Wolfgang. The “3-in-1 Ticket” allows single boarding and disembarking at all three landing stage — St. Gilgen, Strobl, and St. Wolfgang — and combines the festive glow of lights with what is probably the most beautiful journey across the winter lake.
LANTERN CRUISE ON LAKE WOLFGANGSEE
Charming music, poems and stories about the Christmas
season aboard the WolfgangseeSchifffahrt ferries!
Even from a distance, the big Peace Light Lantern is utterly enchanting, a shimmering play of light bobbing on the gentle ripples of the lake. This 16 m high lantern is the unique symbol of Wolfgangsee Advent.
The lantern cruises take place every Wednesday from 26 November to 17 December 2025.
