A Journey of Ever-Changing River Moments
Three rivers, countless impressions. Your journey begins in Amsterdam, where historic canals, vibrant culture, and modern life blend into a captivating panorama. From here, you glide upstream along the Rhine, passing celebrated cities and breathtaking cultural landscapes, before turning toward the Main. Charming towns with grand residences, rich wine traditions, and storybook half-timbered houses line your way. A true highlight awaits on the Main–Danube Canal, where you reach 406 meters above sea level — the highest navigable point in Europe.
Enjoy eight inspiring days that balance lively cities with tranquil natural scenery, visiting Cologne, Rüdesheim, Würzburg, and finally Nuremberg, where your journey comes to a memorable close.
For your safety: Due to low bridge and lock clearances between Frankfurt and Nuremberg, the sun deck may be closed on certain stretches.
Itinerary
Welcome to Amsterdam, where centuries of history meet contemporary life along 160 picturesque canals. After embarkation, join us for a welcome aperitif and dinner on board, followed by a lively maritime concert by a traditional shanty choir. Your ship remains overnight in Amsterdam.
