Take a Rhine River cruise to the beautiful port town of Ludwigshafen, Germany where the Noeckar and Rhine river join forces. Mannheim lies on the Eastern side of the river which makes for an easy additional destination. Take a pleasant walk through Stadtpark or Ebertpark, or watch a show at the famous Theater Hemschofschtel. Or, to delve into the culture of Ludwigshafen and the greater Germany, consider adding the Wilhelm Hack Museum, with its masterful mix of 20th-century abstract art with Roman artifacts. Consider cruising the Rhine River on a small ship cruise in order to be able to access smaller docks, ports, and locks.
