Highlights of the Rhine Cruise

Where the fabulous splendour of fairy-tale landscapes sparkles and shines.

From Cologne to Rüdesheim, Frankfurt, Mainz, Cochem and Koblenz to Cologne.

It’s hard to believe that this glittering valley beneath the colourful comets and golden rain falling from the heavens was once a marshy wasteland. It was only after humans straightened the river that ships were able to pass here. Where sailors used to meet their demise at Lorelei and run aground on the treacherous shoals of the Rhine Valley, you can now enjoy a relaxed cocktail on deck and take photos. Photos of the castles of Katz and Maus near St. Goar, for example. These are just two of the impressive 40 castles located along this stretch of the Rhine which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And despite all the photos, and no matter how often you visit them, these castles never lose any of their mystical fascination.

*There is no guarantee for the "Rhine in flames" event taking place.

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.

Rhine River

Enjoy impressive sights such as the castles Burg Katz and Burg Maus near St. Goar. They are just 2 of the 40 magnificent castles on this section of the river, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. No matter how many times you look at photos or experience this area for yourself, it continues to exert an almost mystical appeal.

Mainz

Halfway between Lake Constance and the North Sea, the Rhine meets Mainz. This carnival city is known for its cheerful atmosphere and its hospitality. Why not go for a stroll along the tranquil riverbank or enjoy a good glass of local wine while you’re there? You could also visit the city’s main landmark: Saint Martin’s Cathedral. It boasts one of the richest church interiors in the Christian world. Another important building in Mainz is the Kurfürstliche Schloss (Electoral Palace). This is a prime example of the German Renaissance style of architecture.

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 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.

Panoramic view of the city of Cologne with the Cologne Cathedral at sunset. In the foreground, the Hohenzollern Bridge, which crosses the Rhine.

The 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.

Trips

Let the Winzerexpress take you on a tour through vineyards and right into the centre of Rüdesheim. Here, the little lanes are too narrow for our trusty vehicle, so you’ll explore the old town on foot. You’ll find one of Germany’s most well-known streets here: Drosselgasse. Lined with wine taverns and bars with outdoor seating, it offers 144 metres of pure enjoyment. You’ll have the opportunity to stop off here to learn how the traditional coffee speciality ‘Rüdesheim coffee’ is made – and you’ll be able to try it for yourself, of course.
