Tour details

Individual arrival for embarkation in the banking city on the Main. Our on-board tour guide will welcome you with a glass of sparkling wine. In the evening, your ship departs from the livable city on the Main and sets course for Aschaffenburg.

Frankfurt am Main

At night, you reach Aschaffenburg, also known as the “Bavarian Nice”. The city delights with its mild climate, impressive architecture and lively culture. A particular highlight is Johannisburg Castle, an impressive Renaissance building that sits majestically on the banks of the River Main. The charming old town invites you to take a stroll as part of an optional excursion. Alternatively, you can discover the castle's interior and art collections on your own or relax in the idyllic Schönbusch Park. At lunchtime, continue by boat towards Würzburg.

Raft harbour, Aschaffenburg

During breakfast, you can enjoy the trip across the Main. You will reach Würzburg around midday and have the opportunity to take part in a city tour (optional) through Würzburg's old town. In addition to the historic town hall and the Romanesque St. Kilian's Cathedral, the Gothic St. Mary's Chapel with its sandstone figures by Tilman Riemenschneider is also on the program. After so many impressions, enjoy a relaxing afternoon on board.

Würzburg

The city of Bamberg has retained the magic of its past to this day. Experience how special Bamberg is on a guided city tour with a storyteller (optional). The historic old town ensemble with its cathedral, churches and monasteries, bridges and narrow alleyways, half-timbered houses and baroque facades will delight you.

Spend the evening on board and enjoy the passing scenery.

Excursion program We would be happy to send you an order form with our offer on excursions prior to departure. The excursions will be held in German language. The excursions can only be booked in English language on request (depending on the excursion agency and the minimum number of participants).

Itinerary or program are subject to change at any time. If due to low or high water levels, or bad weather conditions, a route cannot be sailed, the captain reserves the right to alter the itinerary for your safety. (No legal right shall arise in either situation). The same shall apply for repair or maintenance works on locks and bridges ordered by river and other local authorities with little or no advance.

Important notice Please consider that on the one hand your ship is your hotel, on the other hand, however, it is an engine that has to run constantly –even at night-time (this includes passing under bridges or through locks), therefore a certain level of noise is inevitable. If you are sensitive to noise, please bring earplugs. 

Travel documents EU-citizens (without special situations like dual citizenship, main residence abroad or a limited-validity passport) are required to have a valid passport or ID-card, not expiring within six (6) months of the return of your cruise. We kindly ask non-EU citizens, EU-nationals with multiple citizenship or anybody who has to respect special legal entry requirements for the country to visit, to inform about visa and entry documents at the competent embassy.

This trip is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility.

We recommend that you take out a foreign travel health insurance with repatriation coverage, an accident insurance, a luggage insurance and a travel cancellation insurance.

You can cancel the trip at any time after booking. Cancellation fees can be found in the travel conditions. The travel conditions of the organizer apply: SE-Tours GmbH, Am Grollhamm 12a, 27574 Bremerhaven
