Airship sightseeing — a new perspective on tourism
Would you like to discover another way to explore the world? Then sightseeing flights by airship are exactly what you need. This is next‑generation tourism for those who find standard routes insufficient. Today’s travelers are no longer content to look at the world through the narrow windows of airplanes.
According to research by the consultancy Bain & Co, the pandemic and geopolitical events have changed people’s self‑perception and generated new tourism trends. Demand is growing for unusual cruises that deliver impressions beyond expectations. Travelers increasingly choose a night in an underwater hotel, a digital‑detox cabin in the forest — or… a flight on an airship!An airship offers a panoramic view and a feeling of complete freedom.
Tourist airship — what it is and how it works
A tourist airship is a classic lighter‑than‑air vehicle redesigned for greater safety and comfort. It moves smoothly and quietly, allowing passengers to fully enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Sightseeing flights by airship have three main advantages.
1. Comfort and relaxation are guaranteed. Passengers are free to move about the cabin (try that on an airplane!), take photos and shoot video without turbulence or engine noise.
2. Safety en route. The airship’s design is stable, and its lifting gas, helium, is non‑flammable. Even an emergency landing can be made almost anywhere — unlike an airplane, an airship settles gently thanks to the large gas volume inside its envelope.
3. Unrestricted views. A spacious cabin with large windows provides a 360° panorama. The airship can hover in place, descend slowly, or climb higher — whatever it takes to let tourists enjoy the scenery to the fullest.

How an airship journey unfolds
Take‑off and flight duration
A flight begins with a vertical, gentle lift‑off. You will feel the craft softly leave the ground as a panorama of the surroundings gradually opens before you. Flight duration varies according to passenger wishes, with standard tours lasting 30–60 minutes.
Excursion formats: daytime, nighttime, individual flights
Airship journeys come in various formats to suit every preference. Day tours reveal the vivid colors of nature and architecture; night flights show cities sparkling with lights, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Individual flights are available for those who value a personal approach: the route and itinerary are tailored to your wishes. For example:
- a romantic date on board;
- chartering an airship for a photo shoot;
- a corporate party or graduation celebration; and more.

Where sightseeing flights are available
Airships are making a comeback, offering an exciting way to see the world without harming it. If you dream of a leisurely flight over picturesque landscapes, you may wonder where airship tours are already operating.
The industry is most developed abroad.
- Germany, the birthplace of airship construction, offers routes over Lake Constance and other scenic regions. The New Generation Airships team filmed a documentary there on reviving airships in the 21st century. Watch a real flight here.
- Switzerland is known for flights above the Alps, revealing spectacular views of mountain peaks and emerald lakes. This route is irregular and must be booked in advance; prices start at 250 Swiss francs.
- In the United States, airships carried tourists above California’s vineyards; these tours are currently paused but may resume in the future.
These countries have the infrastructure and experience to organize safe, memorable flights.
