In the evening, a special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.

A view of Basel, Switzerland from the Rhine River

Rudesheim, Germany Tue 21 Sep 2027

A view of Basel, Switzerland from the Rhine River

Experience the most spectacular scenery on the Rhine this morning as you cruise past the famous Middle Rhine Valley. Later, experience Germany’s fabled Rheingau in one of two ways today. Take in spectacular views of the region from the Rüdesheim mini-train, or venture within an atmospheric medieval monastery and taste the Rieslings made on site. Like many cities along the Rhine, Rüdesheim has a lengthy history that stretches back to Roman times. These days, the town is best known for its narrow avenue of shops and wine bars called the Drosselgasse and its impressive Niederwald Monument.

Rothenburg

Cruising the Main River - Kitzingen (Rothenburg), Germany Sat 25 Sep 2027

Rothenburg

Step into a fairytale version of the Middle Ages in Rothenburg and visit a medieval castle that’s been described as a miniature Versailles. Spend a relaxing day onboard as your ship wends its way along the Main River between Würzburg and Bamberg. It’s something of a truism to say that this route takes you from wine to beer, and you’ll see the transition as you sail past the vineyard-covered slopes around Würzburg toward Bavaria’s famous beer-brewing center, Bamberg. Along the way, you’ll pass delightful little villages and romantic castle ruins, drift under lovely old bridges, and have plenty of time to observe the fascinating variety of vessels plying the river, from heavily loaded barges to jaunty little pleasure craft.

A panoramic view of Bamberg

Bamberg, Germany Sun 26 Sep 2027

A panoramic view of Bamberg

Your floating boutique hotel takes you to Bamberg today, a well-preserved town that offers a fascinating glimpse of medieval times. Explore the city on foot or opt to head deeper into the Franconian countryside to experience an authentic slice of rural life—including a tractor ride. Like Rome, the city is built on seven hills—but in Bamberg, a church tops each one.

You’ll spend the rest of the day on the peaceful Main River, cruising past quiet Franconian hamlets and picturesque countryside. It’s the perfect time to indulge in the many comforts of your luxury ship while watching some of Europe’s loveliest scenery glide by.

Included Excursions: Bamberg Walking Tour | Franconian Village Day

A panoramic view of Nuremberg

Nuremberg, Germany - Cruising the Main-Danube Canal Mon 27 Sep 2027

A panoramic view of Nuremberg

Head up to the top deck or find a seat with a good view—you won’t want to miss seeing the ship navigate its way through a marvel of modern engineering, the Main-Danube Canal. A formidable set of locks, 16 in all, lifts your ship to the crest of the European “continental divide.” Arrive in the archetypal medieval German city of Nuremberg. Nuremberg is justifiably famous for its gingerbread and pocket watches, and it was also the site of some key moments in 20th-century history. You’ll choose between two memorable ways of exploring this exceptional city. You can join a tour of a secret Nazi art bunker hidden underground, or you can accompany a local expert to the city’s most important WWII sites, including the enormous Nazi Party Rally Grounds—the actual site of the Nazi Party rallies.

Included Excursions: Nuremberg City Tour with WWII Rally Grounds and Documentation Center Visits | Nuremberg City Walk & Art Bunker Visit

Included Excursions: Regensburg Walking Tour | “From Hops Field to Beer Stein” Farm Visit

The view over Passau

Passau, Germany Wed 29 Sep 2027

The view over Passau

Weissenkirchen

Weissenkirchen (Melk) - Tulln, Austria Thu 30 Sep 2027

Named for its white church, Weissenkirchen may very well be the prettiest village in the Wachau Valley. A local expert will show you around and introduce you to some regional delicacies, including a wine tasting. Prefer to go for baroque? Visit the 900-year-old Melk Abbey and its extraordinarily opulent library. Later, you can stretch your legs with a vineyard hike.

Included Excursions: Let’s Go: Vineyard Hike | Nights Out: Private Johann Strauss Experience | Melk Abbey with Library Visit | Weissenkirchen Village Walk with Wine Tasting

A panoramic view of Chain Bridge in Budapest

Budapest, Hungary Sat 02 Oct 2027

A panoramic view of Chain Bridge in Budapest

Called the “Queen of the Danube,” in part because of the way the city hugs the banks of the river, Budapest is an enchanting city that vibrantly mixes East and West, medieval and modern. Made up of two parts— Buda (the hills) and Pest (the flatlands)—and divided by the Danube, Hungary’s capital presents an array of architectural styles that reveal its long and varied history. You’ll have two enticing ways to experience the city—a panoramic guided tour aboard a motorcoach with a visit to the Parliament, or discover the Budapest that locals love on a special walking tour of the city’s most important landmarks.

Included Excursions: Budapest Panoramic Highlights with Parliament Visit | Budapest Walk with Local Treats
