Day 1 Day 1: Cologne
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1: Cologne

Cologne
Arrival: - Departure: 18:00
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2 Day 2: Rüdesheim
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 2: Rüdesheim

Rüdesheim
Arrival: 11:00 Departure: 18:00
The town describes its biggest attraction, the world-famous Drosselgasse, as ‘144 metres of joie de vivre’. This centre of Rhine Romanticism once inspired poets and musicians – it was here that Brahms composed his Symphony No. 3. Rüdesheim is the best-known spot in the Rheingau and has plenty of cultural attractions, including stately homes and fortifications. And no visit to the towns and countryside of this area of the Rhine would be complete without a Rüdesheim coffee, which was invented here.
Day 3 Day 3: Germersheim (Speyer)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 3: Germersheim (Speyer)

Germersheim (Speyer)
Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 19:00
Welcome to the Upper Rhine. Germersheim is only about 20 km from the city of Speyer, which is over 2000 years old. Speyer is Germany’s oldest planned medieval town. Speyer’s most prominent monument is its cathedral. As one of the country’s most important High Romanesque cathedrals, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You are sure to have an enjoyable day in Speyer.
Day 4 Day 4: Strasbourg (Kehl)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Strasbourg (Kehl)

Strasbourg (Kehl)
Arrival: 07:00 Departure: 18:00
Today your Rhine river cruise will call at Strasbourg – a centre of European policymaking. With its medieval half-timbered houses and its elegant city palaces, Strasbourg really stands out from the crowd. But the highlight is the cathedral. From its viewing platform, the city’s half-timbered houses appear as small as pieces from a model railway set. Enjoy your day in the French part of the Rhine region!
Day 5 Day 5: Mainz - Loreley Valley - Koblenz
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 5: Mainz - Loreley Valley - Koblenz

Mainz
Arrival: 06:00 Departure: 12:00
Mainz bleibt Mainz (or ‘Mainz is always Mainz’) is more than a carnival motto. It is an expression of the easy-going way of life that makes the locals proud of their city, makes it easy for non-locals to settle in and helps visitors to enjoy their stay here. With 2,000 years of history, Mainz is not just one of the oldest cities in Germany – it is also a place where you can see history come alive wherever you turn.

Loreley Valley
Arrival: 13:00 Departure: -
The Ijsselmeer is an inland lake that was created by diking the Wadden Sea and the Zuiderzee bay. This is where you’ll find the lovely little town of Hoorn – make sure you explore it during your cruise along the northern Rhine.

Koblenz
Arrival: 18:30 Departure: -
Discover Koblenz during your Rhine cruise. Its history dates back over 2,000 years, making it one of Germany’s oldest cities – and one of its most picturesque, with a wealth of sights and cultural attractions. Marvel at Koblenz’s palaces, stately homes, grand townhouses, narrow lanes and romantic corners. And watch as our A-ROSA ship sails close to the famous Deutsches Eck headland.
Day 6 Day 6: Koblenz
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6: Koblenz

Koblenz

Day 7 Day 7: Nijmegen - Rotterdam
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 7: Nijmegen - Rotterdam

Nijmegen
Arrival: 06:00 Departure: 12:00
The Romans astutely identified the ideal location along the Rhine River nearly 2,000 years ago, laying the foundation for the oldest city in the Netherlands. Today, this Hanseatic city captivates visitors with its rich historical sites and the vibrant energy brought by its thriving student population. Nijmegen’s liveliness extends to its city beaches, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of its unique surroundings.

Rotterdam
Arrival: 19:00 Departure: -
Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban, international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. In recent years, Rotterdam has become a centre for architecture – its large architect-designed houses testament to the city’s modernity. With a little luck, you’ll see other cruise ships during your day in Rotterdam, since Europe’s largest maritime port is a major transport hub.
Day 8 Day 8: Rotterdam - Harbor Tour Rotterdam
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 8: Rotterdam - Harbor Tour Rotterdam

The Ijsselmeer is an inland lake that was created by diking the Wadden Sea and the Zuiderzee bay. This is where you’ll find the lovely little town of Hoorn – make sure you explore it during your cruise along the northern Rhine.
Day 9 Day 9: Emmerich
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 9: Emmerich

Emmerich
Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 15:00
The small beautiful town of Emmerich on the lower Lower Rhine gives you a nice time out on land during your cruise. Here you can take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the magnificent view of the Rhine while discovering the "Golden Gate Bridge of the Lower Rhine", a suspension bridge spanning over the Rhine, which, just like its role model, can be seen from afar in vibrant red. Definitely worth taking a souvenir photo!
Day 10 Day 10: Cologne
