Marvel at the world's largest ceiling fresco in the Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

All along the way, gain an intimate understanding of the history and culture of the places you visit.The details
What's included
- Board the ship in Nuremberg for your Europe’s Rivers & Castles cruise. (D)
- Bamberg has been referred to as “Franconian Rome” as, like Rome, it was built on seven hills—but in Bamberg, a church graces each one. Bamberg’s medieval and Baroque architecture has withstood the test of time and, as such, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Join a guided walking tour of this medieval gem where you’ll see its cathedral, Old Town Hall and elegant old mansions, and afterwards, indulge in the town’s famous smoked beer, Rauchbier. Alternatively, enjoy a bike tour through Bamberg and follow your knowledgeable guide along the river to the enchanting winemaking town of Eltmann. (B,L,D)
- Go on a full-day excursion to Rothenburg, Germany’s best-preserved walled town located on the Romantic Road. For those not going to Rothenburg, enjoy a city tour of Würzburg, a bursting with Baroque splendor. Or visit Würzburg’s Baroque Residenz Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features an opulent interior, including a grand fresco by Tiepolo. As an alternative to the walking tour and the palace visit, the more active guest may choose to venture high above the town for a hike to Würzburg Castle, which dominates the city. (B,L,D)
- Wertheim’s medieval charm is evident in its half-timbered houses and Gothic Stiftskirche. The town spreads along the Main River, framed by wooded hills and castle ruins above. Its timeless atmosphere invites visitors to wander streets where history and nature converge.
- The Rhine Gorge impresses with its dramatic cliffs, terraced vineyards, and castles perched atop hills. Rüdesheim’s quaint streets and riverside views complement this grandeur, while the river winds between dense forests and rocky banks. Every bend reveals vistas steeped in legend and natural majesty.
- Cochem enchants with its fairytale vistas, while Koblenz welcomes you with charming history and riverside views. Immerse yourself in the enchanting rhythm of these towns, where forested hills, sparkling rivers, and cobblestone streets combine to create a captivating blend of beauty and character.
- Bernkastel sits gracefully along the Moselle River, its half-timbered houses painted in cheerful hues. Vine-covered hills rise behind the village, inviting exploration, while the river sparkles in the valley below. This idyllic setting feels like a living postcard of medieval Germany.
- Bid au revoir to Luxembourg as you prepare for your journey home.
