Rudesheim
DAY 2
20 Sep 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Something of a gateway destination for those looking to explore German wine culture, and the breathtakingly beautiful Rhine Valley region, Rüdesheim is a stunning small town on the banks of the Rhine boasting a rich history of wine-making, surrounded by breathtaking vineyard-covered hillsides, and littered with interesting historic landmarks. Oh, and it has charm in abundance. Everywhere you look, there’s something exciting to enjoy, and every type of traveller will be catered for. If you want to soak up the sunshine and sample the local wines and cuisine, Drosselgasse – this town’s most famous street – is where you’ll want to visit. However, if you want to sightsee, you’ll find several cable cars taking tourists into the elevated hiking areas surrounding the town, where scenic views of the Rhine and surrounding area await. Despite its size, Rüdesheim is a bustling centre for tourism in the region; however, while that does mean it may be a little busier than the other small German towns you visit, it’s still just as charming. Rüdesheim will be one destination from your adventures through Germany and Central Europe you remember.
Things to do in Rudesheim:
Drosselgasse
A narrow cobblestone street cutting through the heart of Rüdesheim, Drosselgasse is overflowing with charming wine taverns, incredible restaurants, boutique gift shops, and more. Busy with people filtering into and in-between the half-timbered buildings here, this otherwise unassuming street promises a lively atmosphere anytime and is the perfect place to fully immerse yourself in the excitement Rüdesheim has to offer.
Niederwald Monument
Just a short distance outside of Rüdesheim itself, the Niederwald Monuments stands; built between 1871 and 1883, with the first brick being laid by Kaiser Wilhelm I, this monument is a dramatic celebration of the Unification of Germany – a process which started in 1866 and ended in 1871, just months before construction started. Towering over the Rhine Valley at 125 ft tall, the monument features the iconic Germania – a personification of a united Germany, similar to Great Britain’s Britannia – with the recovered crown and Imperial Sword. Sitting at the edge of a forest, on the crest of an elevated hill, this is one of the most picturesque spots in the area and boasts sensational views of the surrounding scenery. It’s also an important reminder of this nation’s unique history, something easily forgotten when relishing in the indulgent cuisine, wines, and beers that make Germany such a memorable destination.
Rheingau Wine Museum and Brömserburg Castle
One of the oldest fortifications along the Rhine, with sections of the castle dating back to the 11th century, Brömserburg Castle is a truly fascinating landmark in Rüdesheim. It was once a fortification for the Prince-Bishops of Mainz, then a residence for the Knights of Rüdesheim and the Brömsers – playing an active role in major regional conflicts like the Thirty Years’ War. Now, though, it’s the perfect place to learn more about the region’s military history and the Rhine Valley’s history of wine – and sampling some of the local blends, of course. From wine-making equipment dating back as far as the 16th century to antique wine glasses and more, this museum is a comprehensive exploration of every aspect of Oenology. And, from Brömserburg Castle, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the vineyard-blanketed Rhine Valley. When in Rüdesheim, this really is a must-visit destination.

Koblenz
DAY 3
21 Sep 2027
Time at Port: TBD
A historic city on the banks of the Rhine and Moselle, Koblenz is one of the oldest settlements in Germany and set against a dramatic backdrop of vibrant forest-covered mountains and sweeping vineyards; so, at the very least, you’ll enjoy some breathtaking views when you arrive. However, that’s far from the only thing to look forward to in this fantastic destination. At the convergence of the two rivers you’ll find the famous Deutsches Eck (German Corner), an iconic symbol of the Unification of Germany, and along their banks you’ll find countless scenic spots to sip on local wine, alleyways leading to hidden boutiques and quaint restaurants alongside a wealth of historic landmarks to explore. In the area around Koblenz, you’ll find even more impressive castles to visit, rewarding hiking routes to adventure along, and breathtaking views of the Rhineland waiting. A modern metropolis that balances traditional, authentic experiences with the comforts of contemporary life and indulgent cuisines, Koblenz is easily a highlight on any cruise through Germany and Central Europe.
Things to do in Koblenz:
Deutsches Eck
Home to an iconic monument of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor, Deutsches Eck is an important tribute to his role in the Unification of Germany – while also acting as a scenic riverside spot for a variety of entertaining events and festivals to take place. Standing over 120 ft tall, the statue is an impressive sight up-close. However, from the tip of Deutsche Eck, you’ll be able to get a fantastic view of Koblenz and the rivers cutting through its core; the area is a sharp point, poking out into the converging waters of the Rhine and Moselle – a ‘junction’ that takes some skill to navigate with a river cruise ship.
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
Built over an earlier fortress that was destroyed by the French in 1801, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress was constructed as a backbone for the regional defensive fortifications over the following three decades. Ironically, despite being built in a hotspot for French invasions over the previous centuries, it was never actually attacked. Now, part of an UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fortress houses several museums – including those exploring photography, archaeology, and regional wine-making.
Stolzenfels Castle
Once a ruined 13th century castle, which was gifted to Prussian crown prince Frederick William in 1823, Stolzenfels Castle is an impressive 19th century palace featuring Gothic Revival architecture that fosters a romantic grandeur both inside and out. A few miles from Koblenz, this palatial castle complex stands out against the vibrant green woodland with cream-coloured walls – looking as though it was plucked from a storybook. Surrounded by scenic hiking routes, this is one place worth taking the time to visit when in Koblenz.
Wine Tasting and Winery Tours
Wine and Koblenz go hand-in-hand and this city’s history with the grape-made beverage goes all the way back to the Romans, who brought their vines to the Rhineland over 2,000 years ago. On the steep slopes either side of both the Rhine and the Moselle river, vineyards soak up the sunshine to deliver local winemakers full-bodied grapes – of which, they then make excellent wines through traditional methods. If you’re looking for somewhere to sample some local wines, Koblenz is home to plenty of places to do just that. The Moselle is also home to the largest steep slope vineyard in the world, with the region famous for a fruity Riesling – something that accounts for over 60% of the wine produced in the region.
Dusseldorf, Germany
DAY 4
22 Sep 2027
Time at Port: TBD
A major German city with a rich history, charming culture, impressive landmarks, and contrasting experiences that will suit every type of traveller, Düsseldorf is easily one of the most exciting destinations you can visit when you’re cruising along the winding Rhine River. Boasting a remarkable historic city centre with more than enough museums to visit, this is a dream for history buffs. Similarly, though, culture vultures will also find an incredible variety of experiences to explore – with world-class architecture to admire, art exhibitions to attend, and so much more. You’ll also find an impressive culinary scene in Düsseldorf; while there will be plenty of places to enjoy traditional German foods and beverages, this city is also home to Europe’s third-largest Japanese community. So, if you want to sample something a little more exotic, a trip to the vibrant Little Tokyo is in order. This cultural hotspot is complemented by Japanese gardens in Düsseldorf’s expansive Nord Park, which is just one of the charming green-spaces worth spending some time wandering through when the sun is shining. If you’re looking to enjoy the great outdoors, Düsseldorf has several major parks and scenic riverside routes, and you’ll find even more idyllic landscapes to admire further afield. Although, with just so much to explore and enjoy in Düsseldorf itself, you may want to save that for your next visit to this remarkable city.
Things to do in Dusseldorf, Germany:
Gehry Bauten (Gehry Buildings)
An impressive collection of three unique, organically-shaped buildings designed by iconic American architect Frank Gehry, the Gehry Buildings represent the changing landscape of Düsseldorf harbour; they’re also something of an optical illusion, with their unusual shapes forcing you to think twice about what you’re actually looking at. Here, you’ll also find two incredible restaurants, making these architectural marvels even more rewarding to visit.
Schloss Benrath
Schloss Benrath is an impressive Baroque-style pleasure palace found just south of Düsseldorf city centre, in the borough of Benrath; constructed throughout the 18th century for the Elector Palatine Charles Theodor and his wife, the pink-painted palace is surrounded by vibrant grounds – something that makes this a fantastic place to visit when the sun is shining. Within, though, you’ll find three museums: Museum Corps de Logis, the Museum of Garden Art, and the Museum of Natural History. So, rain or shine, Schloss Benrath is somewhere worth spending some time.
Rheinturm (Rhine Tower)
Over 240 metres tall, Rheinturm is an impressive telecommunications tower in the heart of Düsseldorf; constructed from 1979 to 1981, this icon of the Düsseldorf skyline is home to a revolving restaurant and observation deck – while also carrying aerials for radio and TV signals in the region. The shaft of this incredible structure is also the largest digital clock in the world, although this is more a light show that functions as a clock – as opposed to a dedicated time-telling system.
Rathaus Düsseldorf
A historic landmark on the banks of the Rhine, Rathaus Düsseldorf has been in use as the seat of Düsseldorf city council and municipal administration since roughly 1570; with today’s town hall consisting of five building sections in and around the market square, in which sits the iconic Jan Wellem Equestrian Monument, the Rathaus Düsseldorf complex features the Academy Gallery of the Düsseldorf Art Gallery and the city’s treasury, among other administrative offices.
Nijmegen, Netherlands
DAY 5
23 Sep 2027
Time at Port: TBD
On the banks of the scenic Waal River, and quite close to the Dutch border with Germany, sits the city of Nijmegen – a delightful destination just waiting to be discovered on a river cruise through Central Europe. Recognised as one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, being founded as Novio Magus in 98 AD by Roman Emperor Trajan, Nijmegen is steeped in history; here, you’ll find Ancient Roman archeological ruins, fortifications and castles from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern period, and more to explore. However, as interesting as this region’s history is, there’s so much more to Nijmegen than just that. The hilly region south of the city, around the town of Groesbeek, has recently become renowned for its wine production; so, if you’re looking for a unique wine tasting experience in the Dutch countryside, a visit to Nijmegen is the perfect time to do just that. The calm Linge River, which sits north of the city centre, is also a popular spot for riverside walks and scenic cycling routes. It’s also an ideal spot for canoeing and paddle boarding, an activity that will give you time to soak in the stunning views of the Dutch landscape on offer here. With all this available alongside all the amenities and activities you’d expect from a major European city, and the chance to enjoy authentic Dutch cuisine, Nijmegen is a remarkable river cruise destination everyone will enjoy – whether you’re looking to spend your time exploring the region’s rich history, soaking up the scenery by relaxing riverside, or embracing the outdoors with something a little more active.
Things to do in Nijmegen, Netherlands:
Museum De Bastei
A unique museum exploring Nijmegen’s history with the Waal River, Museum De Bastei blends cultural and military history with natural history to deliver a comprehensive learning experience that touches on all aspects of this city’s past. Found within a 16th century defensive tower, you’ll encounter underground tunnels where the ruins of Roman walls remain, a mammoth skull found in the local region, some of the flowers you’ll come across in nearby nature reserves, and more. If you want to know more about this remarkable city, this is a must-visit museum.
Hernen Castle
A short drive from Nijmegen city centre, in the village of Hernen, you’ll find the aptly-named Hernen Castle: a well-preserved 14th century medieval castle where you can learn a lot about what life was like in the Middle Ages. Interestingly, it’s the only castle in the Netherlands with a sheltered allure – the walk-way behind a castle’s battlements. It’s also one castle that has never once been besieged, something which has meant that it was never built upon and reinforced as a fortification. So, what we see today is largely what the castle would have been like when it was in active use.
Doornenburg Castle
Doorenburg Castle is among the largest and most interesting medieval fortifications in the Netherlands, and it boasts a fascinating history. A short distance north west of Nijmegen city centre, this castle was first built as a fortified manor house throughout the 9th century, before being converted into a castle officially in the 13th century. Damaged during the Second World War, what we see today is a restored Doorenburg Castle; while not the original, it’s still an impressive structure with an interesting story to learn.
Walking and Hiking
Nijmegen and the surrounding area is renowned as an excellent place to explore on foot, whether you’re walking at a leisurely pace or hiking with purpose up to an elevated viewpoint. In fact, it hosts the largest walking event each year: the Four Days Marches. One of the most popular routes in the region, the N70 Nature Trail, will give you a chance to soak up the stunning scenery of the region on a 14 km route that cuts through the Berg en Dal forests. You’ll enjoy views of the rolling hills, the Waal and Rhine riverlands, and more on this trail – something that makes it all the more rewarding.
Rotterdam
DAY 6
24 Sep 2027
Time at Port: TBD
The largest port in Europe, Rotterdam had much of its extensive history destroyed during the second World War, but you'll find glimpses into the past through fascinating museums and architecture. For shopping, bars and restaurants head to the Markthal, a unique building with plenty to enjoy. Meanwhile, families will love Rotterdam Zoo, as well as the Euromast Tower which provides stunning views across the city.
Things to do in Rotterdam:
Cube Houses
One of Rotterdam's most well-known landmarks is the Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen). These residential sets of buildings, created by Dutch architect Piet Blom, stand out because each home is cube-shaped. A unique place to visit whilst in Rotterdam, you can learn ore about the cube houses by visiting the Show Cube Museum.
Euromast
Designed by architect Maaskant, this 185-metre tower is one of the tallest buildings in Holland. Step into the elevator and head up the tower to enjoy breathtaking views over Rotterdam; and if it’s a clear day, you can even see the city of Antwerp in the distance.
Erasmusbrug Bridge
An iconic landmark in Rotterdam, the Erasmusbrug Bridge was constructed in 1986 and connects the north and south of the city. A striking feat of engineering, it’s surrounded by cafes, restaurants and hotels.
Amsterdam - Overnight onboard
DAY 7-8
25 Sep 2027

One of the most popular cruise destinations in Europe, Amsterdam is perfect for a picturesque city getaway. Whether you're exploring the city on foot, by bike or by a canal boat, a tour is a great way to discover hidden gems as well as iconic landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. Depending on the time of year, you may also experience the vibrant Keukenhof Gardens which are home to more than 7 million tulips.
Things to do in Amsterdam - Overnight onboard:
Rijksmuseum
Situated in the centre of Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, also known as the museum of Netherlands is home to an array of art, from Rembrandt to Van Gogh. Showcasing over 800 years of history, this beautiful and historic building is an iconic landmark that’s popular with both tourists and locals.
Anne Frank House
Located next to Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House is a museum that honours the Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank. Situated on the Prinsengracht Canal, this fascinating but sorrowful landmark makes for a harrowing visit.
Vondelpark
This picturesque park spans an incredible 120 acres. Full of picturesque flora and fauna, it features a cafe, bandstand and more. A tranquil way to spend your day in Amsterdam, many people choose to ride bikes around it.
