From the Danube to the Rhine, a tranquil network of rivers criss-crosses through Germany and beyond. The best way to experience these magic inland waterways is on one of our luxurious Germany cruise tours. Forget about cramming yourself into coaches and checking into a new hotel each day. These ultra-relaxing sailing itineraries see you cruise through the countryside in style—and you will see similar landscapes to a Germany hiking tour. Unpack your bag just once and enjoy a leisurely trip between some of Germany’s most enchanting port cities. Dreaming of Christmas on the Elbe on your trip to Germany? Take a scenic seven-day winter trip between Magdeburg and Wittenberg. Or perhaps you would rather sail north towards Scandinavia? A laid-back Havel River cruise stops at all the hotspots en route. Danube cruises venture southeast past stunning Bavarian landscapes, while Rhine River trips see you meandering around gorgeous West Germany surroundings. Many of our cruise trips from Germany venture into neighboring nations, letting you tick off countries like Austria, Hungary, and France in one easy-going trip. We also offer cruises to Germany from several European destinations. Keep scrolling to find the best Germany cruise for you.

Germany Cruise Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Cruise Germany tours

Eric C. | Traveled in September

Busy itinerary but covered so much! A crash course in history for sure. Would be nice to be able to spend a little bit more time in Munich and not in a Sunday where everything is closed. That is the one place that could improve. Also the hotel in the black forest was nice, but because of it being a Monday the Biergarten was closed so there was not place to spend time with our fellow travelers

This was our 2nd Trafalger tour and it was great. We did all of the included and optional experiences and we were glad we did. We felt that we were able to see enough sites and we learned a lot about Germany’s past and present. The tour director, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable about Germany and all of the places we visited and she shared so much information about Germany. She was committed to keeping everyone in our group safe and informed and kept the tour running smoothly. We will definitely travel with Trafalger again.
