About this offer
Explore Medieval Germany in its purest form, cruise the Main and the Main-Danube-canal, discovering the Romantic Road, the streets of medieval Bamberg, enchanting Rothenburg and fascinating Nuremberg.We start by exploring Mainz, with its Romanesque cathedral and timber-clad buildings, at the scenic heart of the country’s Winelands. Our cruise along the Main takes us to idyllic Miltenberg, a well-preserved medieval village. Then it’s on to delightful Wertheim, its ancient castle standing over the colourful market square below. Uncover further delights as we arrive in Würzburg, the most elegant of Bavarian cities, crowned by the Baroque palace. Take the Romantic Road to Rothenburg ob der Tauber for spectacular views of the German river Tauber below as it winds through this fairy-tale land. The beauty of Bamberg never fails to enchant as our cruise arrives in one of the most historic towns in Europe. Finally, we explore the historically significant city of Nuremberg, which played an important role during the Holy Roman Empire and World War II, as the site of Nazi Party rallies and the subsequent Nuremberg trials. This river cruise is the perfect way to explore Germany’s medieval past for travellers who love history, architecture and stunning natural landscapes.
Please note: Due to locks and low bridges along the stretch of the river Main and the Main-Danube-canal, the rear main part of the sun deck will be closed between Mainz and Nuremberg. The other outside areas in front of the lounge, the Riverview Kitchen and the lower section of the sun deck in front of the wheelhouse are still accessible.
