Also enjoy superior hotel accommodations with complimentary breakfast, guided sightseeing with an expert Local Guide, and courtesy transfer to your ship.

See the half-timbered houses of Volkach, then cruise to Bavaria’s largest wine-producing region for sightseeing in Kitzingen. Visit Wurzburg, the “Pearl of the Romantic Road.” See the largest-known ceiling fresco in the baroque Bishop’s Residenz.
