THE ITINERARY

CRUISE THROUGH GERMANY AND FRANCE

  • Day 1 (Nuremberg): Welcome to Nuremberg! The early evening cocktail reception and the subsequent welcome dinner, where the anchor is lifted, will kick off your Advent cruise in style and with a festive atmosphere.

 

  • Day 2 (Bamberg): In the morning, you will dock in the ancient imperial and bishop's city of Bamberg, where you should not miss the guided tour in the morning. Bamberg was founded in 1007 and is often referred to as "Franconian Rome," much like Italy's metropolis on the Tiber built on seven hills. The center contains over 2,000 listed buildings and is rightfully part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Before lunch, your ship will set sail for Würzburg.

 

  • Day 3 (Würzburg): In Würzburg, you will get to know the main sights during a city tour in the morning, foremost among them the baroque grandeur of the former Prince-Bishop's Residence, whose tour ends with a tasting of Franconian wine in the venerable cellar. In the afternoon, you will take an excursion to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. This small town gem is located on the so-called "Romantic Road" and is world-famous for its exceptionally well-preserved medieval old town, where you will also have the chance to try the local specialty, the crumbly pastry "Schneeballen."

 

  • Day 4 (Wertheim & Miltenberg): This afternoon is dedicated to two small, romantic towns along the Main River, which captivate with their medieval charm and exquisite half-timbered architecture. Starting from Wertheim, we offer an excursion that combines a local city tour with a visit to Miltenberg. In the meantime, your ship will have also sailed to Miltenberg, and before dinner, it’s once again time to say “cast off.

     

  • Day 5 (Frankfurt & Mainz): Frankfurt provides a modern contrast, as you will arrive early in the morning. The Main metropolis is not only known for its skyline and as an international financial hub but also for its distinct local dialect and numerous culinary specialties. Let yourself be enchanted by the diverse side of Frankfurt in the morning. Upon arriving in Mainz, where your ship will dock in the afternoon, you will be fascinated by its more than 2,000 years of history. The historic center can be wonderfully explored on foot, either on your own or as part of a guided city tour in the afternoon, including a visit to the famous Christkindlmarkt.

 

  • Day 6 (Mannheim & Speyer): Early in the morning, Mannheim welcomes you. Later in the morning, you will have the opportunity to join our excursion to Heidelberg. In this city on the Neckar River, which is considered a symbol of German romance, you will visit the castle and stroll through the Christmas market in the charming baroque center. In the afternoon, we head toward Speyer, one of the oldest cities in Germany. Join us for a city tour and get a glimpse of the Christkindlmarkt in the early evening hours. In the evening, a culinary feast with our captains awaits you.
