The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Unlock Mainz's 2,000-year Roman legacy on a private guided walk through its cathedral quarter, Roman ruins, and medieval lanes — with a local expert entirely at your pace and command.
Step into the workshop where the modern world began — a private, hands-on session at the Gutenberg Museum, printing with a replica Gutenberg press alongside a specialist curator.
Glide through the UNESCO Rhine Gorge, past legendary Lorelei Rock, fortress-crowned crags, and vine-draped valleys on a classic river day cruise — Germany's most cinematic waterway, seen from the water.
Witness Marc Chagall's breathtaking blue stained-glass windows — created as an act of Franco-German reconciliation — glowing in a near-thousand-year-old church, ideally in the golden morning light.
Spend a sun-drenched afternoon among the Riesling vines of the Rheingau, Germany's most prestigious wine region, on a private estate tour and cellar tasting — just minutes from Mainz.
Descend into the world's finest collection of Roman warships — preserved 4th-century vessels excavated from the Rhine riverbed — on a private expert-led tour that brings Rome's frontier fleet back to life.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
