Main - Travel Through Germany's Charming Scenery on the Main River

The Main River (pronounced "mine") helps connect the North Sea to the Black Sea as it travels through Germany's charming scenery. Relax on board as you cruise past quaint, quiet, and visually stunning sights that include lush forests adorned with hilltop castles, churches, and small towns. Enjoy guided sightseeing tours to explore the picturesque scenery in towns along your river cruise route in Trier, Miltenberg, Würzburg, and Bamberg before heading to Nuremberg. Step back in time and enjoy a Bavarian beer as you walk down the cobblestone streets in the medieval town centers of Bavaria's villages. Journey into one of the best preserved historic villages - the walled town of Regensburg - to see the splendid St. Peter's Cathedral, and explore the spectacular Johannisburg Palace located atop the city of Aschaffenburg. This cruise will give you a new understanding for life in Europe during western civilization's formative years and is for history-lovers, nature-lovers, and romantics alike.

Make the most of your vacation by continuing along the Main River as it meets up with the Romantic Rhine River to explore Germany, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Or connect to the Danube via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal to visit Vienna and Linz in Austria or Budapest in Hungary.
