About This Cruise

The cruise begins in Strasbourg, where French charm and German history blend. The stunning cathedral dominates the skyline, while “La Petite France” with canals and timbered houses enchants visitors. Sailing out, the vineyards and gentle hills of Alsace line the riverbanks.

Next is Mannheim, famous for its baroque palace and unique grid layout. Along the Upper Rhine, wide floodplains and green banks accompany the ship.

In Mainz, history unfolds at every corner. The cathedral, Gutenberg Museum, and old town captivate, while the riverfront reveals vineyards of the Rheinhessen region.

Frankfurt offers a striking contrast: a glittering skyline rises beside the medieval Römer square. From the river, the city’s profile is particularly impressive.

At Rüdesheim, the heart of the romantic Rhine, the lively Drosselgasse invites with wine and music. The cable car to the Niederwald Monument grants sweeping views of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley – a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with castles, vineyards, and myths.

Finally, Koblenz awaits at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle. The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress overlooks the rivers, and the charming old town rounds off the journey. Surrounded by castles and vineyards, the cruise ends in pure Rhine romance.

Germany

Mannheim

The city of Mannheim is located on the Rhine, directly across from Ludwigshafen in Baden-Württemberg. The castle is the city’s landmark and is situated not far from the river. But the water tower and, in February, the street carnival are also well-known features of the city, which lies just a few kilometers from Heidelberg. The squares that make up the city center are particularly charming. The city center is large, with numerous shopping options and plenty of cafés to stop in.

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.

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

Rüdesheim

The picturesque town of Rüdesheim is located right on the Rhine in Hesse and boasts numerous attractions, such as the famous Drosselgasse, which is lined with wine bars, as well as a castle and a torture museum that displays medieval instruments of torture and tells the history of the Inquisition. A cable car takes you up to the Niederwald Monument, which is located above the town. From here, you can take a beautiful hike through pristine forest areas and then reach the chairlift that leads directly to Assmannshausen. This town is also located on the Rhine.

Germany

Koblenz

Koblenz captivates visitors with its unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The first stop on any visit to the city should therefore be the so-called “Deutsches Eck” with its imposing Kaiser Wilhelm Monument. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Upper Middle Rhine Valley.” A visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers a beautiful view of Koblenz and its two rivers. Perched 120 meters above the Rhine, this 16th-century fortification is the second-largest surviving fortress in Europe. Even the ride up in a cable car gondola is spectacular.
