European River Cruises: Germany

Germany river cruises – sail the Rhine, Moselle & Main through castles, vineyards & medieval towns

Germany is rich in exciting landscapes, from the mountains of the south to the north rolling plains and a spiritual heart full of past and present heritage, there are plenty of ways to make your vacation special. Our selection of river cruises is the perfect opportunity to experience a mix of culture, history and delicious food. Cruise down the Rhine, Moselle or Danube on a German river cruise splitting your time between the luxuries onboard and the amazing onshore adventures. You could experience the medieval architecture of Bamberg, let your imaginations run free in the folkloric streets of Rothenberg. Alternatively, you could explore the vibrant capital, Berlin and picturesque Meissen on a tour to Germany. 

Accompanied by expert Tour Managers, every visited location is a guaranteed treat. Wander the cosy streets of Bamberg, become critics in grand galleries and tour the legendary Olympiastadion stadium. Did we mention the delicious food? Aside from iconic beer and German sausage, we recommend pretzels, Flammkuchen (which is essentially a German pizza) and rouladen – thin slices of beef rolled around bacon, onions and pickles – served with red cabbage, potato dumplings and gravy. Our stomachs are already rumbling! 

There hasn’t been a country with such an impact on the world’s history through light and dark times. And every decade has left huge impressions on culture and the fabric of the nation. So, whether you’re touring Dresden in the glorious summer season or opting for a festive winter river cruise along the rhine, you’ll wish you’d visited Germany sooner.
