Germany River Cruises

With several of the major rivers in Europe flowing through various locations across Germany, river cruises are a great way to travel if you want to see the diversity of sights that this beautiful country has to offer.

This form of travel also offers many other highlights such as the convenience of onboard accommodation, ensuring that you do not miss a moment of the ever changing landscape. Other facilities include stylish lounges and bars, excellent panoramic viewing points and occasionally fitness rooms and spas. For further information of the ships and locations, there is a detailed itinerary provided for each cruise.

Fairytale castles, vibrant cities and poetic vistas are what make river cruising in Germany unique. From the romance of the Rhine Gorge to the raw nature of the Black Forest, its easy to see why Germany is a popular choice for first-time river cruisers.

River Cruises through Germany - Traveller's Notes

Rivers have played an important part in every culture and society throughout history. Many towns and cities have been built around the river banks to utilise the resources provided by these waterways from the import and export of goods to travel, tourism and water sources. As such, taking a tour down the river today can provide convenient access to views of a variety of growing metropolises and cosy riverside towns. River cruises in Germany are particularly charming as, depending on your river of choice, they not only travel through sights such as the spectacular city of Cologne or the wine town of Rüdesheim, but also through areas of extreme natural beauty. River cruises exploring the Rhine for instance pass through the magnificent Rhine Gorge, a designated UNESCO world heritage site. Apart from its stunning views the Gorge is also home to the famous Lorelei Rock which has been the subject of many poems, songs and folklore. With cruises on the river Rhine and Danube all featuring views of Germany, whether you prefer the atmosphere of the city or the enchanting natural landscape, Great Rail Journeys provide a choice of river cruises in Germany to suit the desires of every traveller.
