Experience New Year on the water!
Embark on an unforgettable New Year’s River Cruise along the Rhine and celebrate the turn of the year in a truly festive atmosphere. Your journey begins in Frankfurt, the vibrant metropolis on the Main River, where you will board your comfortable ship.
The next day, you will arrive in Speyer, one of Germany’s oldest cities. Admire the impressive Imperial Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stroll through the charming old town.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve on board as you sail from Speyer to Strasbourg – with a festive gala dinner, live music, dancing, and a spectacular fireworks display illuminating the night sky over the Rhine.
In Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace, you can look forward to visiting the world-famous Strasbourg Cathedral, the picturesque La Petite France district, and beautifully decorated streets. Your cruise then continues to Mainz, where you will spend two nights. The city delights with its magnificent St. Martin’s Cathedral, half-timbered houses in the old town, and the magical winter atmosphere along the riverbank.
Finally, you return to Frankfurt, filled with lasting impressions, culinary delights, and joyful memories. This river cruise combines culture, fine dining, and celebration into a truly unique New Year’s experience.
