*River Cruises

I love river cruises, because it’s a way to see a lot in a little time. It’s also a great way to relax with friends or enjoy a date day trip. You can spend a few hours warm inside the boat, or you can get off and explore the villages. Our favorite one is between Rüdesheim and St. Goarhausen. There are many lines available, but I recommend K-D!!
