Itinerary

  • Mainz... settle into your cabin and meet your fellow passengers. 
  • Miltenberg... enjoy this slice of Medieval Bavaria. The old town is encircled by ancient walls and is home to cosy wine taverns.
  • Wertheim... once famous for its glass production, its cobbled centre is lined with pretty half-timbered buildings. The hauntingly beautiful ruins of its 12th-century castle overlook the town.
  • Würzburg... you'll have sweeping views of the terraced vineyards as you sail into this wine-growing city. It's also famous for its lavish baroque architecture. Visit the Baroque Residence Palace and historic city centre on a guided tour.
  • Schweinfurt... see the 15th-century town hall and cobbled market square on an included walking tour.
  • Bamberg... is laid out over seven hills where the Rhine and the Main rivers meet. The UNESCO-listed Old Town is one of the best-preserved in Europe, with over 2400 Medieval buildings. You'll see this, and the New Residence and Rose Garden on the included tour.
  • Nuremberg... this is the final port of call, and you'll dock overnight here. It's Bavaria's second-largest city. Before flying home, you could visit the Nuremberg Trials Memorial or see the Medieval castle.
