See Europe through a Main River Cruise

An Avalon Waterways Main River Cruise uncovers the lesser-know side of Germany. Flowing through the German states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse, the Main River is lined with picturesque towns and breath-taking scenery. Lose yourself in the beauty of Bamberg, a UNESCO-heritage town, whose awe-inspiring architecture dates to the 12th century. Be delighted by the sloping hills and vineyards of Würzburg, before exploring the magnificent Bishop's Residenz. At the convergence of the Main and the Rhine, the city of Mainz will surprise you at every turn, with its many interesting shops, tea rooms and intricate fountain on the Schillerplatz. Indulge in the best of Germany as you glide away on Main River with Avalon Waterways.
