Day 1 Day 1: Cologne
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1: Cologne

Cologne
Arrival: - Departure: 18:00
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2 Day 2: Rüdesheim
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 2: Rüdesheim

Rüdesheim
Arrival: 11:00 Departure: 18:00
The town describes its biggest attraction, the world-famous Drosselgasse, as ‘144 metres of joie de vivre’. This centre of Rhine Romanticism once inspired poets and musicians – it was here that Brahms composed his Symphony No. 3. Rüdesheim is the best-known spot in the Rheingau and has plenty of cultural attractions, including stately homes and fortifications. And no visit to the towns and countryside of this area of the Rhine would be complete without a Rüdesheim coffee, which was invented here.
Day 3 Day 3: Germersheim (Speyer)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 3: Germersheim (Speyer)

Germersheim (Speyer)
Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 19:00
Welcome to the Upper Rhine. Germersheim is only about 20 km from the city of Speyer, which is over 2000 years old. Speyer is Germany’s oldest planned medieval town. Speyer’s most prominent monument is its cathedral. As one of the country’s most important High Romanesque cathedrals, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You are sure to have an enjoyable day in Speyer.
Day 4 Day 4: Mainz
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Mainz

Mainz
Arrival: 01:00 Departure: 20:00
Mainz bleibt Mainz (or ‘Mainz is always Mainz’) is more than a carnival motto. It is an expression of the easy-going way of life that makes the locals proud of their city, makes it easy for non-locals to settle in and helps visitors to enjoy their stay here. With 2,000 years of history, Mainz is not just one of the oldest cities in Germany – it is also a place where you can see history come alive wherever you turn.
Day 5 Day 5: Frankfurt

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.
