Main River Cruises FAQ
Can you cater for passengers with allergies and restricted diets?
Our gourmet chefs offer varied menus daily, including vegetarian and vegan options, and can easily tailor dishes to suit any allergies or restrictions – just let us know when you book. The cuisine is a mix of international and locally inspired fare with no compromise on taste or flavour, whatever your diet.
Can you accommodate a guest with limited mobility?
All our cruisers are specifically designed for optimal access, so let us know your needs when you book, and we’ll be able to accommodate you. Some vessels have interconnecting staterooms, perfect for people who require assistance from a family member or friend. We are always happy to tailor rooms to give guests the best cruise experience and can also help with special dietary requirements and any medical needs whilst you’re on board.
What is the current policy on Covid vaccinations?
Our booking team will let you know when you make your river cruise reservation. We follow the latest World Health Organisation Covid guidance and refer to local protocols in the regions we sail through. Our on board staff are all fully vaccinated.
Do I need a visa for a Main River Cruise?
Depending on how many countries you sail through, you will probably need a visa or visas. Passengers must arrange their own visas and should do so well ahead of their cruise date in case of delays. Our friendly booking team will be able to give you some general advice on what’s involved when you make your reservation.
What is the geography of the Main River?
The Main River, also known as the Main, is a significant waterway in central Germany. It flows through the central part of the country, primarily in the state of Bavaria, before joining the Rhine River (the longest river located in Germany) near Mainz.
The Main River is linked with the Danube Rivers and the Main-Danube Canal, forming an essential European waterway network. While it is not linked directly with the North Sea, the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal connects the Main River at Bamberg, Germany, to the Rhine River near the town of Mainz. From Mainz, the Rhine flows northwest, eventually reaching the North Sea in the Netherlands.
In Regensburg, Germany, the Main and Danube rivers merge. This connects two major European rivers, allowing for easier navigation and transportation across the continent. The Danube River flows northwest towards the Black Sea from Regensburg, while the Main River flows northwest towards the Rhine.
