Rhine, Lorelei & Urban Charm 2027

Highlights of the Rhine River Experience

When the Rhine becomes a theatre and the landscapes tell their stories.

From Duisburg to Koblenz, Loreley Valley, Mannheim, Rüdesheim, Loreley Valley, Bonn, Cologne and Düsseldorf to Duisburg.

Between Duisburg and the Middle Rhine Valley, the river itself takes the spotlight. Castles tower over the river like stage sets, vineyards line the banks, and every bend reveals a new scene. The landscape opens up like a curtain of stone, and the famous Loreley emerges. As the Rhine winds its way through the narrow passage, the slate cliffs rise steeply, and the legend of the mysterious woman atop becomes almost real. But this stage also belongs to the nearby cities: Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet; Rüdesheim, with its wine taverns; Bonn, with its Rhineland serenity; and Cologne and Düsseldorf, with their urban energy, all have a close connection to the river. Waterfront promenades, cathedral spires, old towns and modern skylines come together to create a striking backdrop. Along the Middle Rhine, this creates an interplay of natural drama and cosmopolitan chic, making the river the connecting element of a region that is not just a destination to visit, but an Rhine river experience to cherish.

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.

Mannheim

Mannheim offers picturesque riverside promenades that invite you to relax and stroll. The squares, a unique network of streets in the shape of a chessboard, characterize the cityscape and are home to a variety of stores, restaurants and cultural institutions. Mannheim is proud of its musical tradition and is known worldwide as the birthplace of the modern violin concerto and the first bicycle.

Itinerary

Like Dortmund and Bochum, Duisburg became well known as a major location for the iron and steel industries. Nowadays, this city in the Ruhr region is a scientific hub and home to high-tech companies. Situated right on the Rhine, Duisburg is also one of the world’s most important inland ports.

Loreley Valley

Arr 06:00 pm

The 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.

As you sail along the southern Rhine during your river cruise, you will also learn about the many faces of Mannheim, the multicultural heart of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Welcome to the compact city. From the Neckar to the palace, the city centre is laid out in grid formation. The streets here have no official names, and the area is instead divided into squares.

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.
