General
The inescapable romantic spirit of the Rhine, the ancient castles and grand palaces, half-timbered houses, medieval towns, famous wines, and robust beer are some of the highlights you’ll discover and savor as you sail along two incredible rivers – the legendary Rhine and the wonderfully scenic Main. Experience 1,000 years of history in Aschaffenburg, nicknamed the “Bavarian Nice.” Explore the architectural gem and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bamberg, spread over seven hills and situated in the heart of Northern Bavaria. Visit Heidelberg, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, perfectly nestled in the Neckar River Valley along Germany’s “Castle Road.” Take a gondola ride to the Niederwald monument in Rüdesheim, depicting the mythical figure of Germania, and providing spectacular views of the vineyards below. Marvel at the world's largest ceiling fresco in the Würzburg Residence and taste the wonderfully fruity Franconian wines in its cellar below. And this is just Germany! A gem in France awaits Cruise to Strasbourg, with its half-timbered houses clustered along narrow, winding lanes, quaint canals and the magnificent, single-spire gothic cathedral Notre Dame—the town looks as if it comes out of a Grimm’s fairy tale.
Stay in a Category 5 Moselle Deck cabin with private bath (option to upgrade for low additional cost). Enjoy 19 meals including 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 7 dinners. ***This tour is operated by our sister company.
