Excursions

City tour Koblenz incl. Fortress Ehrenbreitstein by bus / foot (39 € p.P.)

The trip starts with a tour of the imperial city in the "German corner". Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. The trip takes you past the historic town hall with the "Schängelbrunnen" (fountain) and many other interesting points of the city. For example you will see the "Coin Master House called "Alte Münze"(old coin) which is located on "Münzplatz"(coin square). At this location is the birthplace of Prince Metternich too. Also, worth seeing is the "Balduinbrücke", the second oldest, still maintaining bridge that crosses the river Moselle. The bridge dates from the 14th century. Then it goes up with the cabin cable car - to the "Ehrenbreitstein" fortress, which is situated on a 118-m high mountain spur. The inclined lift (opened in 2011) in the District of "Ehrenbreitstein" connects the Mill Valley with the East side of the fortress. Be mesmerized by a breath-taking panoramic view of the city. The return by cable car from the fortress and the way back to the ship is individual.

City tour Mannheim with castle by bus / foot (45 € p.P.)

The Friedrichsplatz is located in the east of the city centre. In its centre is Mannheim's landmark, the 60-metre high water tower. It was built in 1889 in neo-baroque style and is crowned by a 3.50 metre high statue of the Amphitrite. From Friedrichsplatz, the Planken pedestrian zone leads west to the central square of Mannheim, the Parade ground. It was originally used by the electors for parades of troops. In the centre of the square is the Grupello Pyramid. The market place is located north of the Paradeplatz on the pedestrian zone "Breite Straße" in the centre of the lower town. In its centre is the fountain monument from 1719. Another point of interest is the Mannheim Castle. It was built under the regency of the electors Karl Philipp and Karl Theodor between 1720 and 1760 in Mannheim and was the residence of the Electors of the Palatinate.

City tour Strasbourg by bus / foot (45 € p.P.)

Strasbourg is the capital of the "Alsace" region, located in the East of France. The river Ill, a tributary of the Rhine, surrounds Strasbourg's well intact historical City center "Grande Île", which has been declared to World cultural heritage side in 1988. Very popular is the so called "Tanner district" in the city district "La Petite France" on the shoreline of the Ill and some of its channels with its picturesque half-timbered houses, small streets and the typical roof dormers. Landmark of the city is the roman and gothic Strasbourg Minster built from 1176 to 1439 build. Dominated by its west facade, you will see along the Minster Square countless, some four- or five story high half-timbered houses in the Alemannic Southern style. The astronomical clock and the "pillar of the Angels", the pulpit, the baptismal font, which are considered excellent examples of Occidental art swallow's nest organ are among his most famous pieces you will find here. (Explanations to the Strasbourg Cathedral made by the tour guide only while still outside - the inside visit will be done on their own.)

Excursion Alsace-Tour by bus / foot with tarte flambée and wine (49 € p.P.)

From the pier in Strasbourg, you will go by bus through the Alsatian wine region with the Vosges mountains in background, to Colmar. During a guided tour through the historical centre of Colmar you will discover the Charm of the old town and its magnificent buildings. The old town of Colmar is considered particularly because of its location along the leek river, but also because of its beautiful and well-preserved half-timbered houses as one of the most Old towns all over France. At the end of your excursion you can enjoy the traditional "Alsatian tarte flambée" and the Alsatian wine.

Excursion Rheingau and Eberbach monastery (49 € p.P.)

By bus fom the pier in Wiesbaden you will discover the Rheingau. The Rheingau cultural landscape extends from Walluf to Lorchhausen as a hilly region on the right bank of the Rhine. The Rheingau as a cultural region has numerous sights to offer, including the Eberbach Monastery. Among other things, the film "The Name of the Rose" was shot here. With impressive buildings, especially from the 12th to 14th centuries, the monastery is the most important medieval masterpiece in Hesse. During the tour, we learn a lot about the life of the Cistercian monks in the monastery. Before we return to the ship you have the chance to venture out by yourself.
