Main River Mini Cruise 2028
Frankfurt
‘Hier bin ich Mensch, hier darf ich’s sein’ (‘Here I am man, dare man to be’). This quote by Frankfurt’s most famous son – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – actually comes from his play Faust (and the English translation by Bayard Taylor), but it is also a very fitting way to describe Goethe’s hometown. Frankfurt’s combination of modern skyscrapers housing major finance companies and the old town with its historic buildings and half-timbered houses is unique. And if you fancy a break from the hustle and bustle, you can take a leisurely walk along the lovely bank of the Main.
Wertheim
With its well-preserved city wall, narrow alleyways, richly decorated half-timbered houses and picturesque market square, Wertheim offers a fairly authentic old Franconian image. The ruins of the castle sitting high above the town are one of the largest in Germany. Karl Baedeker described Wertheim as the most beautiful point of the entire journey in his description of the Main in 1862. Come and see for yourself on your Rhine cruise!
Aschaffenburg
Aschaffenburg shines with its fascinating blend of history, culture and scenic beauty. Immerse yourself in the majestic world of Johannisburg Palace, one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Germany, and explore its magnificent rooms and gardens. Stroll through the picturesque old town with its charming half-timbered houses and historic squares before making your way to the Pompejanum, a replica of a Roman villa that offers a fascinating insight into ancient life.
Itinerary
With its well-preserved city wall, narrow alleyways, richly decorated half-timbered houses and picturesque market square, Wertheim is quaint and relatively authentic. The ruined castle, perched on a hill, is one of the largest of its kind in Germany. In his 1862 account of the Main region, Karl Baedeker describes Wertheim as the high point of the entire trip. You can put this claim to the test yourself during your Rhine cruise.
Aschaffenburg offers its visitors a wide range of experiences and sights. From historic buildings to idyllic nature parks, there is something for everyone to discover here. An absolute highlight is Johannisburg Castle - an imposing Renaissance palace. From its towers, you enjoy a breathtaking view over the old town and the River Main.
Welcome 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.
Your cruise 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.
