On your Christmas cruise, we'll also stop in Rüdesheim. With its half-timbered facades, Drosselgasse is a picturesque showcase for the outstanding wines of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley - a landscape that is the epitome of Rhine romanticism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rüdesheim was once secured by four castles, being strategically located at the end of former merchant routes. The ruins of Ehrenfels Castle, Boosenburg Castle and Brömserburg Castle, which today houses the Rheingau Wine Museum, are relics of the town's eventful history.
With over 2,000 years of city history, Mainz is not only one of the oldest cities in Germany, but also a place where great history comes alive at every turn. Traditions are also fully celebrated at Christmastime! Be sure to visit the historic Christmas market on the Domplatz. The illuminated and decorated Mainz Cathedral will surely enchant you.
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.
Here we embark on a festive cruise on the Rhine. Make sure to explore Cologne itself, with its many imposing buildings and attractions. Enjoy the typical ‘Weckmänner’, a traditional yeast pastry, and some hot punch at the Christmas market right by the cathedral.
Spend the time before Christmas in the heart of Rhine Romanticism, which once inspired poets and musicians. Brahms composed his 3rd symphony in Rüdesheim. You may even hear a Christmas song echoing through the many alleyways... and of course the coffee speciality ‘Rüdesheimer Kaffee’, which was invented here, is a must-try during your stay.
Guten Tag, Germersheim! The town is located not far from Speyer, which is over 2000 years old. Speyer is the oldest town still existing from the Middle Ages on German ground. In time for Christmas, be sure to visit the cathedral, which is considered the most important building here and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Strasbourg is widely known as the "capital of Christmas". The festive markets, medieval half-timbered houses and elegant city palaces are just glamorous. The absolute highlight: Strasbourg Cathedral. From its observation deck, the whole city looks like a model railway landscape.
With over 2,000 years of city history, Mainz is not only one of the oldest cities in Germany, but also a place where great history comes alive at every corner. Be sure to visit the historic Christmas market on the cathedral square. The illuminated and decorated Mainz Cathedral is also a sight to behold.
Steep cliffs and wintry forests stretch along the Loreley Passage, while the river quietly flows by. Legend has it that the Loreley, a beautiful nymph, once sat on the cliffside and lured sailors to their demise with her song - a myth that still captures the imagination of visitors today.
Enjoy the time before Christmas in Koblenz whilst admiring the city's sights. Back on board, the next culinary highlights are already waiting for you. What a treat!
Your festive cruise on the Rhine comes to an end in Cologne. But before you set off on your journey home, full of memories, why not use the day to explore the city of Cologne? When in ‘Kölle’, a visit to the world-famous Cologne Cathedral is a must. Have a wonderful Christmas season, see you soon and ahoy!
