Three-Rivers Cruise
Get ready for an unforgettable European experience which fits the wonders of Dutch waterways, the Rhine, the Main and the Main-Danube Canal, all into one cruise.
Highlights of the itinerary are the capital city of Amsterdam, famous for its many canals and bustling streets, the cathedral city of Cologne, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley and its incredible wealth of castles and winegrowing villages, the historic university city of Würzburg and the medieval town of Bamberg in Bavaria. Along the way, pass the Main-Danube canal, an engineering marvel completed in 1992 connecting the rivers through the heart of Europe.
Please note: Due to low clearance heights at bridges and locks on the river route between Frankfurt and Nuremberg, access to the sun deck might be restricted for safety reasons.
Itinerary
Historic Amsterdam, the famous capital of the Netherlands, is the starting point of your European cruise. After embarkation, enjoy a Welcome Cocktail and savor fabulous dishes at the Welcome Dinner. At the end of the day a rousing performance by a traditional shanty choir completes the experience.

Discover the region’s rich history on a walking tour and admire the magical collection of instruments at the Music Cabinet Museum.
