Begin your cruise in Amsterdam and pass through the Dutch countryside to arrive in Cologne, where a blend of medieval charm and dramatic architecture are just a sample of the enchantments you’ll find over the course of the week. Continue on through storybook towns, their castles perched amongst the gorgeous natural landscapes. Along the way, you’ll uncover a region steeped in history, a fascinating mix of miraculously undisturbed and painstakingly restored cultural gems.

Sample the region’s iconic treats, from brandy-spiked Rudesheimer coffee to the Rieslings produced at the vineyards banking the Rhine. Wander into these picturesque riverscapes with a “Let’s Go” hiking path that will bring you high up in the trees above the Steigerwald forest and a canoe ride through the Mainschleife Nature Reserve. Then discover a full range of life along the Rhine and Main with visits to quaint villages and lavish palaces. Between breath-taking backdrops and rich local culture, this journey from Amsterdam to Nuremberg will leave you speechless.
