What's included
- Board the ship in Basel and settle in for the start of your Medieval Treasures journey.
- See Strasbourg’s blend of French and German influences on a guided walking tour through the UNESCO-designated Petite France district, with its timber-framed houses and charming canals. Or, explore the city on a guided bike tour that includes Parc de l’Orangerie.
- After arriving in Ludwigshafen, you’ll have three choices of excursions. Join a guided tour of Mannheim Baroque Palace, one of Europe’s largest palaces. Or, take a walking tour of Speyer, known for its UNESCO-listed Romanesque cathedral, medieval Altpörtel (Old Gate), and imperial crypts. For a different perspective, visit the modern Speyer Technik Museum.
- Take a guided tour of Frankfurt to see its blend of historic charm and modern architecture. Or, sample Hessian cuisine on a guided tasting tour. Active travelers can opt to join a guided bike ride along the Main River.
- Enjoy a scenic cruise to Miltenberg, the “Pearl of the Main River.” While on your walking tour, you’ll discover why this medieval town seems to leap from the pages of a fairytale with its 14th- and 15th-century half-timbered, gabled houses; the famed Crooked House; and the venerable Royal Inn, which has been a working hotel since the 17th century. For those who would like a more active adventure, hike to the Miltenberg Castle, offering majestic views of the town and river; or go on a guided bike ride along the Main River. Later in the day, set sail for Wertheim, considered to have one of Germany’s most beautiful city centers with precious half-timbered houses, which you may explore on a guided walking tour. (B,L,D)
- Today, choose to explore Würzburg, a beautiful city bursting with Baroque splendor, or take a full day excursion to Rothenburg. In Würzburg, you can choose from a guided walking tour of the city. Or venture to the Baroque Residenz Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features an opulent interior, including a grand fresco by Tiepolo. Those looking for more active exploration can hike up to the Würzburg Castle. Alternatively, you can take a trip through a thousand years of history while in Rothenburg, Germany’s best-preserved walled town. Interestingly, Walt Disney’s Pinocchio was influenced by sketches of this charming city.
- Discover Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a guided walking tour that visits its cathedral, Old Town Hall, and elegant mansions. Or, taste your way through the city with smoked beer, licorice root, and the historic Hornla pastry dating back to 1427. For a more active adventure, join a guided bike tour along the Main River from Eltmann to Bamberg and outside of the town’s center.
- After breakfast, bid farewell to Nuremberg as you prepare for your flight home.
