A charming city in eastern Bavaria, which sits on the confluence of the Danube, Naab, and Regen rivers, Regensburg is one of the largest medieval cities north of the Alps and known for its well-preserved medieval architecture; however, this is far from the only thing worth looking forward to ahead of your arrival. In Regensburg, you’ll have the chance to indulge in authentic Bavarian cuisine, with one of the world’s oldest restaurants in the heart of the city, and enjoy a unique cultural experience, something influenced by this city’s long and storied history. Boasting charming cafes and quaint gift shops down narrow cobblestone streets, restaurants overflowing with flavour, and dramatic medieval structures interspersed with vibrant greenspace, it’s safe to say that this is somewhere worth wandering – and that’s not even mentioning the riverside routes you can stroll along! With walking tours come sightseeing, beer tasting sessions, and more; although, this is somewhere where exploring beyond the beaten track is equally as rewarding. Regensburg is somewhere full of obvious charm and hidden treasures, making it a memorable port of call on any cruise through Germany and Central Europe.
Things to do in Regensburg, Germany - Overnight onboard:
Regensburg Stone Bridge
While unassuming, the Stone Bridge linking Regensburg’s Old Town with Stadtamhof is a fascinating marvel of medieval engineering and easily among the most significant bridges in the region. It’s also a symbol of the city, and measures over 1,000 ft in length. As the only bridge across the Danube at Regensburg and the only crossing between Ulm and Vienna, this bridge – which was built circa 1140 with surprising speed – made the city into an important centre for trade and politics. There’s also a legend that the bridge’s builder made a deal with the devil to hasten construction, then cheated the devil out of the souls required as payment. So, the devil attempted to destroy the bridge, and failed – something used to explain why the bridge itself is bent.
Walhalla
Located a short distance from Regensburg itself, in the neighbouring town of Donaustauf, Walhalla is an impressive hall of fame monument that honours notable and distinguished people from German history. With its exterior modelled on the Parthenon in Athens, this neo-classical structure seems somewhat out of place among the vibrant forests and rolling hills of Bavaria; however, it’s an impressive sight to behold and comes with charming views over the Danube. Within, you’ll find almost 150 marble busts of significant figures – with more recent additions including Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Johannes Brahms, Sophie Scholl, and more.
Beer Tasting and Brewery Tours
When you’re in Regensburg, you’re never too far from a unique brewery or charming bierkeller; the city itself is home to almost half a dozen breweries, while also boasting some of the best beer garden views in the country. A destination overflowing with scenic spots where you can sit and savour something refreshing, Regensburg is one of the best places in Bavaria and Germany to go beer tasting and on brewery tours.
Passau
DAY 3
03 Apr 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Known uniquely as Dreiflüssestadt ("City of Three Rivers"), Passau is a stunning Central Bavarian city on the Danube River, with the meeting point for both the Ilz River and Inn River found within the city’s limits – something of a natural phenomenon that makes for an excellent sightseeing opportunity. Throughout history, the position of Passau on the nexus of these three rivers allowed the city to grow into an important political and economic hub for the region, something that’s reflected in the impressive array of buildings you’ll have the chance to explore when you arrive. Passau also sits right on the German-Austrian border, meaning it’s still an important city to this day. This also affords Passau a unique culture, an interesting flavour profile with cuisine featuring dishes from both nations, and a lively atmosphere. For the active explorers among you, it’s a fantastic place for a hike into the forest-covered hills, or a bike ride along the Danube, but you won’t have to go far to see something spectacular. Passau’s Old Town is breathtaking, and you won’t have to travel far from the city centre to find some green space. One of the oldest cities in Bavaria, but far from dated, Passau is one place you’ll remember for a long time after you leave.
Things to do in Passau:
Veste Oberhaus
Founded in 1219, Veste Oberhaus is one of the most iconic landmarks in Passau; an impressive fortress towering over the Old Town, it sits over 100 metres above sea level on a hill between the Danube and Ilz. Veste Oberhaus was built as a symbol of military strength, but also sits in a strategic location allowing it to effectively defend the city and repel attackers. That doesn’t happen so much today, though; so, it now houses the Oberhausmuseum, a youth hostel, a restaurant, and what was once an open-air theatre space – something which was dismantled post-World War Two and now leaves no visible trace. You’ll also enjoy sensational views of Passau and the surrounding scenery from this elevated position, making Veste Oberhaus a must-visit landmark location while you’re in Passau.
St. Stephen’s Cathedral
An impressive Baroque-style Catholic church dedicated to Saint Stephen, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is surprisingly unassuming from the outside, but utterly breathtaking from within. Its intricate interior and stunning frescos are worth spending some time appreciating; however, it’s also home to the world’s largest church organ outside the United States – with the organ here featuring 17,774 pipes and 233 registers. Surrounded by other incredible structures and sights to see, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is worth seeing when exploring the city.
Roman Museum Kastell Boiotro
Located in a medieval house on the edge of Passau, across the Inn river from the city centre, this unique museum incorporates surviving sections of the late Roman Boiotro – a fortification built circa 280 AD – to deliver an immersive learning experience exploring the Roman history of the region. You’ll find hundreds of interesting historical objects here alongside virtual and physical models aiming to immerse you in this city’s remarkable Roman past.

Dominated by the imposing but incredible Melk Abbey, you’ll find a surprising variety of architectural styles in this small town alongside an array of fantastic walking and hiking routes, the chance to indulge in Authentic Austrian cuisines, and an abundance of sightseeing opportunities – be those hilltop castles, vibrant vineyard-blanketed valleys, or rolling forest-covered hills.
Things to do in Melk:
Melk Abbey
An impressive Benedictine abbey towering above Melk, Melk Abbey is easily one of the most iconic landmarks of this region in Lower Austria and one site you really should consider visiting when in Melk.

Following its construction, it quickly became a centre for Enlightenment in the region and this academic importance is part of the reason why it survives today, having been threatened under several regimes and rulerships over the centuries.
Schloss Albrechtsberg (Albrechtsberg Castle)
Built in 1581, interestingly in a Renaissance style over a traditional medieval castle fortification, Schloss Albrechtsberg is just one of the incredible castle structures littering the vibrant landscape around Melk. A short distance from the town itself, overlooking a stretch of the picturesque Pielach waterway – which is an off-shoot of the Danube – a variety of events take place in and around the castle throughout the year, from art exhibitions to musical performances, and more.
Schallaburg Castle
Schallaburg Castle is one of the best-known Renaissance-style castles in Austria, boasting a unique combination of a Romanesque residential main castle and a Gothic chapel. Fortifications on this site are referenced as early as 1242, but the main structures we see today were built circa 1540 – from which it was a private property until Russian confiscation in 1945. As a historic site, this is a well-preserved castle constructed with aesthetics in mind, meaning it enjoys an incredible array of decorations depicting mythological creatures alongside colourful gardens and even two apple orchards. However, Schallaburg Castle also operates as a museum, with a year-long exhibition for you to explore.
Durnstein
DAY 4
04 Apr 2027

It’s also a fantastic place to put on your walking shoes, with calm riverside strolls and hikes into the hills equally rewarding. Although, if you’re looking forward to a laid-back visit to Dürnstein, you’ll find everything you need mere moments from each other – so, this destination really is ideal for every type of traveller.
Things to do in Durnstein:
Dürnstein Castle
A ruinous rock castle constructed circa 1130 on a hill overlooking Dürnstein, Dürnstein Castle is known for being one of the fortifications used to imprison King Richard I upon his return to Europe following the Third Crusade, and then its use as a garrison during the Thirty Years’ War in the mid-17th century.Standing over 1,000 ft above sea level, however, you’ll also enjoy excellent views of Dürnstein, the Lower Austrian Wachau region, and the Danube while visiting this unique historical site.
Stift Dürnstein (Dürnstein Abbey)
Founded on the site of a former chapel in 1410, Stift Dürnstein was once a monastery dedicated to the Assumption of Mary into Heaven and now operates as a parish church. Boasting a brightly-painted blue-and-white tower, this impressive structure stands out among the red-tiled roofing of Dürnstein’s other buildings and the greenery of the luscious landscape surrounding it. Parts of the church are open for tours, but it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate the site from the outside, too.
Domäne Wachau Winery
Home to over 160 hectares of organic vineyards, Domäne Wachau is Austria’s leading wine estate and the source of some of the best Central European wines in the world. Just a short distance from central Dürnstein, you’ll find a winery, which is where you can appreciate these wines first-hand. This region is particularly known for producing excellent Grüner Veltliner and Riesling; however, even if you don’t like wine, the Wachau region’s luscious landscape is worth taking some time to admire.
