Overview

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 beautiful and historic towns in Europe. Finally, we see Nuremberg, an intriguing city once again with its ornate Gothic church and bustling market. This river cruise is the perfect way to explore Germany’s medieval past for travellers who love history, architecture and stunning natural landscapes.
