About the Main
A river that’s rich with charms, the Main forms with the joining of the Red Main and the White Main, meeting the Rhine at the town of Mainz.
Offering a glimpse into Germany’s rich past, it meanders through sights that truly sum up what makes the country such a treat to explore. Along the way, you’ll pass through sleepy, storybook-style villages, see imposing castles on the river’s sloping hills and step foot on winding streets packed with all manner of wares.
While you’re here, you’ll experience the likes of Nuremberg, Bamberg’s labyrinth of streets and 18th-century mansions and vineyard after vineyard in Würzburg.
In Wertheim, tales of the town’s glassblowing traditions are impossible to escape, while the medieval, renaissance and Gothic-era buildings of Miltenberg inspire hushed awe in all who experience them.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, mixes old and new, with a modern skyline set against the likes of St. Paul’s Church and Kaiserdom.
Idyllic and romantic, Main River cruises have been delighting travellers for decades. For anyone looking to appreciate what it means to be quintessentially German, this is the voyage for you.
