Germany offers a wide range of river cruises. SE-Tours, for example, organizes cruises on the Rhine, Moselle, Main, and the Main-Danube-Canal. These journeys take you through picturesque landscapes, charming wine regions, and historic cities. Whether you're drawn to the castles of the Middle Rhine, the Moselle's vineyard-lined banks, or the cultural gems of Bavaria, there's a route to match every interest. You can explore all available itineraries in our travel search.

The best cabin really depends on your personal preferences. Cabins on the upper deck are especially popular – they often feature larger windows or French balconies with beautiful views. If you prefer a quieter stay, choose a cabin farther away from the engine room. On each ship's page on our website, you’ll find deck plans and detailed information about all cabin types.

The price of a river cruise with SE-Tours varies depending on the route, travel duration, and season. On average, the cost is around €1,199 per person for one week – including all-inclusive dining, onboard accommodation, and many additional services. Exact prices and availability can be found on the respective trip pages.
 

Bike & Boat Tours:
On the ships, there's a relaxed atmosphere. The choice of your clothing is entirely up to you - simply wear what makes you comfortable.

For your bike tours, clothing should be similarly comfortable but also functional. We recommend breathable shirts and cycling shorts with seams designed to prevent chafing. Additionally, consider weather-resistant and, depending on the weather, warm clothing: sweaters, windbreakers, or rain jackets are optimal. Sturdy athletic shoes are also essential. A bike helmet completes the equipment.

River Cruises:
Casual, sporty-elegant attire. No special formal wear is required in the evenings. Many guests choose to dress more elegantly for the Captain's Dinner on the final evening.

Bike & Boat Tours:

Onboard catering includes a breakfast buffet, a lunch package for bike tours that you assemble yourself during breakfast (if you're on board during lunchtime, there's instead a light lunch served), and a 3-course dinner in the evening. Additionally, if you're back on the ship in the afternoon, coffee/tea is often served.

River Cruises:

Catering consists of breakfast, multi-course lunch and dinner, afternoon coffee/tea with pastries, and a light midnight snack. Plus, many trips include a beverage package. As a crowning finale to your journey, your captain invites you to a gala dinner.

Danube River Cruises

Royal Cities, unique waterways and breathtaking landscapes

Discover the Danube from its most beautiful side on one of our unforgettable cruises! Europe’s second-longest river flows from its source in Germany’s Black Forest to the Danube Delta on the Black Sea, passing through ten countries – more than any other river in the world. As one of Europe’s most important and historic trade routes, the Danube connects not only countries, but also cultures.

Whether it’s majestic cities like Budapest and Vienna or natural wonders like the Schlögener Loop and the mystical Iron Gates – the Danube has something for everyone. Along its banks, you’ll find former royal capitals with magnificent architecture, picturesque villages, ancient castles and fortresses, and enchanting river valleys.

Experience the full splendor of the beautiful blue Danube on one of our river cruises. All Danube cruises depart from the charming “City of Three Rivers” – Passau.

Schlögener Schlinge, Danube

Experience Germany’s Rivers

Diversity, culture and nature at a glance

From the romantic Rhine to the sun-kissed Moselle and the idyllic Saar – discover the beauty of Germany from the water: comfortably, leisurely, and with ever-changing views. Our river cruises reveal stunning natural scenery, cultural treasures, and vibrant cities – a journey through the rich variety of our own country.

Sail through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, where steep vineyards, fairytale castles, and romantic palaces line the shores. Between Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, and Strasbourg, lively cities alternate with peaceful landscapes – a river journey full of contrast and impressions.

The Moselle and Saar move at their own pace: gentle hills, lush vineyards, and charming wine villages create a unique atmosphere in this border region between Germany, Luxembourg and France. Taste Riesling straight from the winemaker and let each village share its own unique story.

And not to be missed: the passage through the Main-Danube Canal – a technical masterpiece that adds a fascinating dimension to our cruises along Germany’s waterways, blending nature with engineering ingenuity.

River Cruises in Holland & Belgium

Between tulip blooms, tradition and modern lifestyle

Expansive landscapes, endless skies, and charming cities – the Netherlands and Belgium offer a unique blend of natural beauty, rich culture, and maritime flair. Lush green meadows dotted with grazing sheep and cows, windmills turning in the breeze, and postcard-perfect scenes along dykes, canals, moorlands, and peat bogs.

Our river cruise takes you along the Rhine to our western neighbors: explore Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, or marvel at Europe’s largest port in the vibrant city of Rotterdam. Discover art, history, and culinary delights in cities like Maastricht, Groningen, and Ghent. In Antwerp, Belgium’s second-largest city, you’ll be captivated not only by its historic center but also by one of the most beautiful train stations in the world.

A true highlight: during tulip season, entire regions burst into a sea of color – a feast for the senses. Look forward to varied itineraries where lively cities meet tranquil coastal landscapes in perfect harmony.
