Experience the Beauty and History of the Main

River cruises on the Main River are combined with a longer journey on the Rhine or the Danube, giving you the chance to experience more of the historic wonders which make Europe such an exciting river cruise destination.

The Rhine-Main Discovery itinerary transports you on two of Germany’s most enigmatic waterways, allowing you to savour the beauty of the Rhine Gorge as well as fascinating Main destinations like Miltenberg and Bamberg. And, with EmeraldACTIVE excursions, you can stretch those legs and explore some of the most famous historic sites on these two great waterways.

Alternatively, for a longer European exploration, the 15-Day Splendours of Europe river cruise features a stint on the charming Main River, so you can get to grips with the beauty of Bavaria’s towns and cities before travelling to such destinations as Vienna and Budapest along the mighty Danube.
