Treasures of the Main & Rhine

Nuremberg

Board your ship in Nuremberg and embark on your Treasures of the Main & Rhine cruise.

Bamberg

Decide how you explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bamberg from a choice of three excursions: you can participate in a guided walking tour and discover the mediaeval treasures Babmerg has to offer, including the Old Town Hall, Bamberg Cathedral, and an array of historic mansions. Following the walking tour will be a tasting of Bamberg’s renowned smoked beer.

Alternatively, you can skip the walking tour and go straight to the ‘Tastes of Bamberg’ excursion, wherein you will get to sample smoked beer, licorice root and the revered Hornla pastry.

Or, those seeking a more active pastime can embark on a bike tour along the scenic Main River and the quarters outwith the town centre.

Würzburg

Enjoy a full-day excursion to Rothenburg* and its well-preserved mediaeval Old Town lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale. Or, stay in the heart of Germany’s most prominent wine producing region, Würzburg, wherein you can join a walking tour and uncover the paragons of Baroque charm in the breathtaking structures of the city. Or, indulge yourself with a tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the resplendent Residenz Palace, featuring a grand fresco by Tiepolo.

Alternatively, hike up to the historic Marienberg Fortress overlooking the picturesque Main River.

*Not combinable with other tours on this day.

Wertheim

You can join a guided walking tour of the gorgeously Gothic town centre of Wertheim, or you may choose to visit a local bakery and discover the craft of pretzel making.

Alternatively, you may wish to take part in a guided walking tour of Miltenberg, a mediaeval town wherein you’ll get to see the old market square – the Schnatterloch – and the Hotel Zum Reisen, one of the most historic inns in Germany.

If you seek an adventure with a more active kick, hike up to the Miltenberg Castles or take a bike ride through the Main River Valley.
