German River Cruises

Forests, rivers, mountains, and the oldest history characterize Germany. German river cruises make travelers want to come back; the onboard experience and German sights are unreal. The list of attractions is infinite; from WWII historic sites, art, and nightlife, Germany has it all. The country is also known for its iconic Oktoberfest and beer houses. Hop on a German river cruise and experience all this country has for you. 

The Danube River, Rhine River, Elbe River, and Moselle River flow through Germany; this makes it ideal for European river cruises. The Danube is the longest river in the continent, it flows from Germany to the Black Sea - this makes it a perfect waterway for a German river cruise. River cruise Itineraries often feature Germany as a starting point or ending point of a voyage, so travelers get to enjoy a few extra days in this marvelous destination before they head out to Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Another option for German river cruisers is the Rhine River. This waterway flows from Switzerland, all the way to the Netherlands. Rhine River cruises cross Germany and often make a few stops in some of the country's major cities. Last but not least, the Main River is another popular way of exploring Germany. This tributary parts from the Rhine and takes travelers on an immersive experience though the Bavarian culture. Get to know Germany's landmarks and the nature that lines these rivers in an unforgettable excursion.
