Europe's Historic Rivers
Discover Europe’s layered history on a thoughtfully designed nine-night river cruise through Germany. Board a privately chartered ship in Passau and travel along the Main, Rhine, and Moselle rivers, passing vineyard-covered hills and historic towns along the way. Daily excursions explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, centuries-old monuments, and distinctive regional cultures. Visit Regensburg and a Benedictine monastery, enjoy a brandy tasting in Miltenberg, and walk the streets of Trier, Germany’s oldest city. Cruise through the Rhine Gorge, known for its dramatic scenery, and explore Koblenz at the meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle. In Cochem, wander cobblestone lanes lined with half-timbered houses and tour a hilltop castle overlooking the town. In Nuremberg, Bamberg, and Würzburg, choose from included excursions that match your interests, from cultural walks to food-focused experiences. Throughout the journey, expert commentary, regional cuisine, and local wines add depth and context, with meals included and wine and beer served at lunch and dinner. Solo travelers are welcome, with no single supplement!
