After settling into your floating hotel, the cruise director invites you to a welcome cocktail, setting the tone for an unforgettable voyage. Later, savor a carefully crafted welcome dinner as you relax and unwind.

Cruise along the Rhine-Main-Danube canal

After passing through the Main-Danube Canal, you'll reach the ancient imperial and episcopal city of Bamberg in the morning, whose historic center is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. On a guided city tour, you'll discover the charming town with its grand Baroque facades and idyllic half-timbered houses. Alternatively, you can join a bike tour through Bamberg, part of our Amadeus Active Program, and explore the town's fascinating nooks and crannies.

Wine tasting & historic half-timbered houses

Around breakfast time, your ship arrives in the romantic episcopal city of Würzburg, nestled between gentle hills and vineyards. During a city tour in the morning, you'll discover not only the cultural highlights of the city but also its culinary delights through a wine tasting before returning to the ship for lunch.

Culture and history enthusiasts can enjoy an afternoon excursion to the charming old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber before the ship departs from Würzburg in the early evening.

Visit to the glass museum in Wertheim

The charming town of Wertheim is the next stop on your journey. After breakfast, you can join a combined city tour of Wertheim and Miltenberg, where you'll enjoy the romantic medieval streets and half-timbered houses and visit the Wertheim Glass Museum.

The excursion ends in Miltenberg, where the ship, with guests who remained on board, has already arrived. The afternoon will be spent on board, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the passing river landscape.

Passage of the Loreley

After a hearty breakfast, your ship will dock in the picturesque wine town of Rüdesheim. Here, before lunch, you'll have the option to either explore the famous Drosselgasse on your own or join our guided city tour, which includes a visit to the Music Cabinet – a unique museum bringing the history of music automata to life.

Alternatively, you can take an excursion to experience the Asbach Brandy and the charm of Rüdesheim. Visit the renowned Asbach Distillery and learn about the art of brandy production.

In the afternoon, make sure to head to the sun deck, as you'll pass one of the most scenic sections of the Rhine – the legendary Loreley. Shortly before midnight, you'll reach the Rhine metropolis of Cologne.

Today, you'll spend the day in Cologne, a city with a rich and varied history, home to world-famous landmarks, which you can explore on a city tour in the morning.

In the afternoon, nature lovers will be in their element. The excursion "National Park Seven Mountains with Drachenfels Castle" takes you to Germany's first nature reserve and its castle ruins, offering a spectacular view of the picturesque Rhine Valley.

Canal boat tour in Amsterdam

The next morning, you'll have already arrived in Utrecht in the Netherlands. After breakfast, join us for a tour to Amsterdam with its enchanting blend of old-world charm and contemporary allure. Cruise through the lovely, verdant canals of Amsterdam while learning more about the city's history and significance.

After lunch on board, you can visit Waterland in North Holland, where you will stop in the charming fishing village of Volendam and the equally picturesque town of Edam. Renowned for its cheeses, this is the perfect spot for a cheese tasting (included in the excursion). Alternatively, you can join a bike tour through the idyllic countryside surrounding Amsterdam to actively explore the Dutch landscape.
