Day 1: Arrival in Cologne and Boarding

Today you’ll travel on your own or, if you prefer, by bus (optional service) to Cologne, where you’ll settle into your houseboat starting around 4:00 p.m. In the city of the cathedral, you’ll have the chance to explore Cologne’s charming Christmas market on your own.

In the evening, a delicious 4-course welcome dinner awaits you before your ship sets sail around 11:00 PM.

In the morning, you’ll enjoy the journey through the picturesque Upper Middle Rhine Valley, passing by impressive rock formations and majestic castles. Around 2:00 p.m., you’ll dock in Rüdesheim, where the ship will remain overnight. Explore this popular wine-growing town and don’t miss a stroll down the famous Drosselgasse street, as well as the charming Christmas Market of the Nations.

Day 3: Mainz, the City of Gutenberg

Around 8:30 a.m., we’ll weigh anchor and continue our journey to Mainz. Around 11:30 a.m., we’ll arrive in Gutenberg, on the banks of the Rhine. If you’d like, you can join us for a guided tour of the city, which begins with the Gutenberg-Express, a little red train, and continues on foot through the historic alleys of the old town, as well as the famous market square with the imposing Mainz Cathedral. During Advent, Mainz’s Christmas market shines with a very special splendor starting around November 27 and exudes a festive atmosphere. Around 8:30 p.m., your floating hotel sets sail again, heading for Cologne.
