Main & Middle Rhine Experience 2025
Koblenz
Discover Koblenz during your Rhine cruise. Its history dates back over 2,000 years, making it one of Germany’s oldest cities – and one of its most picturesque, with a wealth of sights and cultural attractions. Marvel at Koblenz’s palaces, stately homes, grand townhouses, narrow lanes and romantic corners. And watch as our A-ROSA ship sails close to the famous Deutsches Eck headland.
Rüdesheim
Nestled at the foot of the Niederwald, Rüdesheim am Rhine is famous for its wines. Like many places in the Middle Rhine Valley, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourists come to the town in droves to visit its many museums and interesting buildings. Just under 10,000 people live in Rüdesheim, and they are particularly proud of the area’s castles, which include the Brömserburg, the Boosenburg and Ehrenfels Castle. Thanks to a variety of regular concerts and events, there’s always something to do in Rüdesheim.
Cologne
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 cathedral watches over the city. With its 157.38 meters, it is the third highest church building in the world. Climbing the tower may be challenging, but we still recommend it on this river cruise. You will be rewarded with an unforgettable view over the city and the Rhine. 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.
Itinerary
Welcome to Kölle! The grand Cologne Cathedral, one of Germany's most famous landmarks, thrones majestically over the city and draws everyone's attention with its impressive architecture and ornate details. Along the riverside promenade, cosy cafés, lively beer gardens and restaurants invite you to linger and enjoy, while the charming old town streets with their traditional houses, boutiques and breweries convey the flair of centuries past.

Loreley Valley
Arr 08:00 am Dep 12:00 pmThe Loreley Passage is a paradisiacal route along the Rhine known for its breathtaking landscapes and cultural significance. Along this passage, steep cliffs and dense forests stretch while the river flows calmly. Legend has it that the Loreley, a beautiful nymph, once sat on the rocks and lured sailors to their doom with her singing - a myth that continues to captivate the imagination of visitors to this day.
Rüdesheim
Arr 03:00 pmThe 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.

Mainz
Arr 08:30 amMainz 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.

Arr 01:00 pmWelcome to Goethe’s birthplace! Here’s another historical fact while we’re at it: this is where the first German national assembly met in 1848. Today, the metropolis on the Main is home to the headquarters of major banks and is also one of Germany’s most important centres of business and commerce. 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.
Your journey ends in Frankfurt am Main, also known as "Mainhattan". Before you start your journey home, use the day to take a further look around to stroll past the impressive skyline with its modern skyscrapers.
