Chauffeur transfers to the Batorama landing stage at the Palais Rohan
The Batorama landing stage is the departure point for Strasbourg's sightseeing cruises. At the foot of the Palais Rohan, on the Quai du Marche-aux-Poissons, it handles more than 750,000 passengers a year. The cruises circle the Grande Ile, pass the Covered Bridges, the Vauban dam and the Petite France locks, and run along the European quarter with a view of the Parliament.
FJ13 runs transfers to the landing stage from anywhere in Strasbourg and the Bas-Rhin. It suits visitors who want to see the city from the water before exploring on foot, passengers of Rhine river cruises calling at Strasbourg, and works councils adding a cruise to a seminar.
Connecting with Viking, CroisiEurope and A-ROSA river cruises
Rhine cruise ships (Viking River Cruises, CroisiEurope, A-ROSA, Scenic) moor at Port du Rhin, 4 km from the historic centre. FJ13 drives their passengers to the sights of Strasbourg, including the Batorama landing stage for a city cruise.
The welcome is offered in French, English or German on request, subject to availability. Chauffeurs know what these passengers expect: punctuality, discretion and limited free time.
Combined cruise and guided tour itineraries
The 1h15 Batorama cruise combines well with the cathedral (1h), Petite France (a 30-minute walk), the Palais Rohan (30 minutes) and a meal in a winstub. On request FJ13 builds half-day or full-day itineraries with a dedicated chauffeur and set-down points matched to each stop.
A sample half-day: 9.00 am hotel pick-up, 9.30 am arrival at the Batorama landing stage, 11.00 am end of cruise, 11.15 am Notre-Dame cathedral (1h, unguided), 12.30 pm the astronomical clock, 1.00 pm lunch in a Petite France winstub, 3.00 pm return to the hotel.
Booking and looking after luggage during the cruise
Book online 24 hours a day through the FJ13 module. Give the pick-up address, the time you want to reach the landing stage (book your Batorama ticket ahead in high season), whether you need luggage kept during the cruise, and where you want to be taken afterwards.
Luggage: your cases stay in the locked vehicle for the duration of the cruise, parked in an authorised zone nearby (Austerlitz or Gutenberg car park). No supplement. This suits travellers connecting between a station or airport and a river cruise without stopping at a hotel in between.
