Day 3 Dec 25, 2027 Wurzburg 06:30 – 19:00 12.5 hrs ashore The Bavarian city of Würzburg with its impressive buildings in Baroque and Rococo styles is definitely worth a visit. Below the Marienberg Fortress, which is well worth seeing, there are walking paths through the beautiful vineyards that stretch right down to the Main. This is where the good Franconian wine comes from in Bocksbeuteln. The Würzburg Residence is a special attraction, as is the monumental Käppele pilgrimage church. The cathedral and the striking old bridge over the Main are also special points of contact. The Haus zum Falken on the market square is built in Rococo and Gothic styles.

Day 4 Dec 26, 2027 Miltenberg 13:00 – 16:30 3.5 hrs ashore The lovely town of Miltenberg entered history as early as 1237 and soon achieved considerable prosperity. On the Main loop, the small town enchants with the most beautiful half-timbered houses, the famous gate tower "Schnatterloch" and with what is probably Germany's oldest inn. Wallenstein was already staying here. Stately half-timbered gables form the unmistakable backdrop of the medieval market square. The Mildenburg towers above the idyllic town on the mountain. Up to this point the Romans had advanced to the Main and secured the strategically important place with a fort.

Day 5 Dec 27, 2027 Mainz 08:00 – 17:00 9.0 hrs ashore Halfway between Lake Constance and the North Sea, the Rhine meets Mainz. This carnival city is known for its cheerful atmosphere and its hospitality. Why not go for a stroll along the tranquil riverbank or enjoy a good glass of local wine while you’re there? You could also visit the city’s main landmark: Saint Martin’s Cathedral. It boasts one of the richest church interiors in the Christian world. Another important building in Mainz is the Kurfürstliche Schloss (Electoral Palace). This is a prime example of the German Renaissance style of architecture.
