Alsace Getaway from Frankfurt

About This Cruise

Take a few days away from everyday routines and discover cities filled with history. VIVA TIARA invites you on an Alsace getaway from Frankfurt, bringing together the Rhine and Main with visits to Speyer, Strasbourg and Mainz over four nights. From late autumn into the lead-up to Christmas, leisurely walks, cosy café breaks and peaceful hours on board create a relaxing rhythm.

Your discoveries ashore begin in Speyer. The impressive cathedral and streets of the old imperial city invite you to explore the past at your own pace. Wander through the lanes, notice the details of historic façades and enjoy a quiet pause before your ship continues in the afternoon.

At the heart of the journey is Strasbourg. Half-timbered houses, waterways and the distinctive cathedral shape this Alsatian city. With departure at 22:30, there is ample time to explore different neighbourhoods and enjoy the atmosphere in the evening. Alternate discoveries with a leisurely break and appreciate the character of a city shaped by different cultural influences.

On the return journey, Mainz welcomes you with historic squares, its cathedral and lively streets. Your ship remains until the early hours, leaving time for an unhurried final evening. Then sail back to Frankfurt while you relax on board. Filled with culture, Alsatian charm and time to unwind, this short escape ends after four nights with breakfast before disembarkation.

Itinerary

Germany

Frankfurt

Connected to the Danube via the Main-Danube Canal, Frankfurt is one of Germany’s most unique cities. After all, it is the only city with a skyline of skyscrapers. A view of the metropolis from the MAIN TOWER’s observation deck is a truly special experience. But Frankfurt isn’t just a very modern and bustling city—it also has a wealth of history to offer its visitors. The Römer and St. Paul’s Church are among Germany’s most famous historical landmarks. And when it comes to art and culture, Frankfurt is an absolute hotspot. With nearly 40 museums and exhibition venues, Frankfurt’s Museumsufer is one of the most important international museum districts.

Germany

Speyer

The 2000-year-old Speyer resembles a single open-air museum: Salian history at every turn. The cathedral city on the Rhine is proud of its favorable location in the heart of Europe. The many-towered silhouette of the mighty red sandstone cathedral towers over the city. Anyone visiting the cathedral should also descend the steps to the imperial crypt. The most important sights of the old imperial city are almost all located in the city center, which makes it possible to admire them during a nice walk through the city. Those who are tired of walking can stop in one of the countless restaurants and cafes.

France

Strasbourg

From the very first minute, the French city of Strasbourg enchants visitors with its colorful, idyllic half-timbered architecture, Wilhelminian-style grandeur,trendy new neighborhoods, and fascinating museums. Even a short visit leaves a lasting impression thanks to all the inspiration it offers! In the picturesque La Petite France district, you can savor the moment with a slice of tarte flambée before the imposing cathedral, with its stained-glass windows and arcades, invites you on a journey back in time to the Gothic era. If you’re not afraid of heights, you should definitely climb the 332 steps up to the observation deck to catch a glimpse of the Vosges and the Black Forest in the distance.

Germany

Mainz

Mainz, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, lies directly on the Rhine. The impressive St. Martin’s Cathedral is just one of the city’s many special attractions, along with numerous monuments and fountains. Spacious parks and green spaces invite visitors to take leisurely strolls. A visit to the Electoral Palace is not to be missed. Historic buildings bear witness to an eventful history, from its beginnings in Roman times 2,000 years ago to the modern era. The Haus zum Stein in the city center is the oldest surviving residential building in Mainz dating from the Middle Ages.
