Germany River Cruises

Find yourself enchanted at every turn on a river cruise in Germany. Follow meandering waterways to dreamy destinations - places where history and authentic German culture mingle and the scenery seems plucked from a storybook.

The romantic Rhine has year-round appeal that opens the door to a range of possibilities, from tasting the famed dry Rieslings of Rüdesheim to viewing UNESCO-listed sites, such as Cologne's soaring, twin-spired cathedral. See castles draped across clifftops and sail through the Rhine Gorge, whose beauty comes with a heady dose of lore. In the wintertime, the Rhine is framed with traditional Christmas markets, and in the fall, Germany river cruises unveil the colors of the Rhine in Flames event. Alternatively, drift along the Moselle through the captivating Moselle Valley to places like Cochem, at the heart of the Moselle wine region, or Bernkastel-Kues, whose Old Town is adorned with traditional buildings. Take your cruise vacation further by traveling through Germany's most scenic regions, including Bavaria, before traveling by train to join the beautiful Danube.
