Cruise Overview

Nuremberg is a medieval city located in northern Bavaria in Germany.

It is Bavaria's second largest city and is noted for its iconic red roofed buildings and medieval architecture.

The imperial Castle overlooks Nuremberg and was one of the most important fortifications of the Roman Empire.

For more significant cultural history, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, one of the largest cultural history museums in the German speaking world, offers visitors exhibitions from Prehistoric all the way to present day.

Walking tours around the city offer an enjoyable and active way to learn of Nuremberg’s history and culture.

Through Old Town, discover fountains, wells, churches, and art treasures, as well as learning of the colourful past and cosmopolitan present of the city and its people.

Nuremberg is also home to one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany, the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt, where visitors can purchase traditional handmade decorations and enjoy the famous gingerbread, mulled wine, and grilled sausage from over one hundred and eighty wooden stalls.
Bamberg is a German town located over a landscape of seven hills and the confluence of Regnitz and Main rivers.

The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre with Old Town home to structures dating back to the 11th century.

An iconic landmark to visit in Bamberg is the town hall Altes Rathaus, located on an island in the Regnitz and covered in murals.

Bamberg Cathedral, with its four towers and numerous stone carvings, is a striking example of Romanesque architecture.

Head to the Market Gardeners District and visit the historical houses where centuries ago the town gardeners would grow and export produce such as onions, seeds and liquorice.

In the town centre and heart of Little Venice, the rivers and arched bridges connecting the island city are reminiscent of Venice, with a lively atmosphere and modern shops set in historical surroundings.

After a day shopping, head to one of the many Brewery pubs for some popular German beer.

Bamberg is famous for its beer and is where its name originated from, with the town being populated by nine traditional breweries.

It is located on the River Main and is famous for its lavish baroque architecture and Franconian wine.
