The Main River of southern Germany connects the Danube River to the east with the Rhine River to the northwest. As the Rhine?s largest tributary and the primary artery between two of Europe?s longest rivers, cruises that include the Main River are usually a bit longer - between 7 days and three weeks, crossing central Europe.

The season for Danube River cruises runs from late February through the Christmas market season, but there are distinct seasons that each have their own unique benefits and drawbacks.

Our hand-selected menu of cruises is all-inclusive, with shore excursions, meals, and drinks, and guides all wrapped into what you pay. We have done our best to curate unique cruise experiences for travelers of all interests - from history buffs to active explorers…and everyone else!
