Main River Cruises

Flowing across the heart of central Germany, the Main River traverses a spectacular landscape of lush, rolling hillsides speckled with storybook castles and charming medieval villages such as Würzburg and Miltenberg, offering an ideal setting for scenic river cruise holidays. Formed by the convergence of the Red Main and White Main waterways, the Main River is one of the Rhine’s major tributaries and is connected to both the Rhine River at Mainz and the Danube River via the Main-Danube canal. The impressive Main-Danube canal stretches across 16 locks from beautiful Bamberg, via historic Nuremberg, to tranquil Regensburg and makes it possible for river cruise ships to sail all the way from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
