From Nuremberg to Bamberg, Schweinfurt, Würzburg and Miltenberg to Frankfurt.

A fascinating river cruise takes you along the gentle banks of the Main, which leads from Nuremberg via Bamberg and Schweinfurt to Aschaffenburg before returning to Frankfurt. Immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Nuremberg, where history and culture can be sensed at every turn. In Bamberg, you will discover medieval charm and historical treasures, while Schweinfurt impresses with its industrial heritage. In Aschaffenburg, majestic castles and baroque splendor await you, reflecting the city's rich history. Finally, you return to Frankfurt, full of unforgettable memories on a unique journey on the Main.

Fluss in Wuerzburg

Würzburg

The wine in Würzburg really is excellent. Situated in a basin, Würzburg could be described as the young old city. Its 1,400 years of history can be seen in the cityscape. The Würzburg Residence, for example, is one of the most important buildings of the late Baroque period, and the Hall of Mirrors is considered to be the most perfect rococo work of spatial art. The city is also youthful because of the many students who have brought cafés, bars, modern culture and concerts with them. And the "party cellars" - a special feature of Würzburg's nightlife.

Frankfurt skyline

Frankfurt

“Here I am Man, here dare it to be!” This quote from Frankfurt's most famous son - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - actually comes from his "Faust", but it also applies wonderfully to his home city. Here you will find modern financial buildings stretching high into the sky as well as an old town with historic buildings and half-timbered houses. And if you simply want to relax on this river cruise, take a long walk along the beautiful banks of the Main.

 Aschaffenburg von Oben

Aschaffenburg

Aschaffenburg offers its visitors a wide range of experiences and sights. From historic buildings to idyllic nature parks, there is something for everyone to discover here. An absolute highlight is Johannisburg Castle - an imposing Renaissance palace. From its towers, you enjoy a breathtaking view over the old town and the River Main.

There’s so much to say about Nuremberg – and this city in Franconia has so many attributes. It’s the city of Wagner’s Master-Singers, Dürer, the Christkindlmarket, gingerbread and bratwurst. This means that you can choose what you’d like to focus on. Interested in food and drink, or culture? Or both? You’re bound to find what you’re looking for here. On this cruise along the Rhine and Main, a stroll through Nuremberg will definitely be worth it.

Nuernberger Kaiserburg

There are numerous sights to discover in Nuremberg, including Nuremberg Castle, an impressive medieval castle with panoramic views over the city. The Old Town, with its winding alleyways, historic buildings and lively markets is just perfect for a leisurely stroll. The main market square, famous for the Christkindlesmarkt at Christmastime, is a popular attraction.

Nuernberger Kaiserburg

Bamberg’s unmistakeable cityscape is an architectural masterpiece that took 1,000 years to create. Overlooked by its unique cathedral, Bamberg is a work of art in and of itself, with a wealth of listed buildings that bring together the Gothic and bourgeois baroque styles. This old Franconian seat of bishops and emperors dazzles visitors with its splendid cathedral, its churches and monasteries, its bridges, alleyways and squares, and its half-timbered houses and baroque facades.

Bamberg

In the 19th century, this one-time free imperial city became a major industrial location on the River Main. Nowadays, it is clear that Schweinfurt also has a well-developed cultural side, with its collection of museums and galleries. It is also well known among scientists as the home of the world-famous Leopoldina, Germany’s National Academy of Sciences, which counts several Nobel laureates among its members.

Today your romantic river cruise will stop off in Würzburg. This old seat of bishops straddles the River Main. As a university city, Würzburg has an excellent reputation. A centre of Franconian winemaking, it is also the economic hub of Lower Franconia. The city is dominated by its medieval fortress, the Marienberg. A varied visit awaits you here!

Alte Main Bruecke in Wuerzburg

Militenberg is a small village in the heart of Bavaria, nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. Known for its historical significance in a military context, the name "Militenberg" reflects the former strategic relevance of this region. The surrounding area is characterised by rolling hills, green forests and idyllic valleys that appeal to hikers and nature lovers alike. The charming village proudly preserves its cultural heritage, which is closely linked to the history of the military, and invites visitors to immerse themselves in the past and experience the unique atmosphere of this region.

Ausflug in Miltenberg A-ROSA

Welcome to Goethe’s birthplace! Here’s another historical fact while we’re at it: this is where the first German national assembly met in 1848. Today, the metropolis on the Main is home to the headquarters of major banks and is also one of Germany’s most important centres of business and commerce. Frankfurt is also known for its many futuristic-looking high-rises. You’ll get a closer view of them when your Rhine cruise takes you along the Main river.

Frankfurt skyline

Your journey ends in Frankfurt am Main, also known as "Mainhattan". Before you start your journey home, use the day to take a further look around to stroll past the impressive skyline with its modern skyscrapers.
