The Rhine has many faces. The Lower Rhine region is characterised by flatlands and fields. Quite different to the “romantic Rhine” on the southbound route. The river breaks its way through the Rhenish Slate Mountains to enter the incomparably beautiful UNESCO World Heritage region of the Middle Rhine Valley. This region is famous for the many castles atop the hills on both banks, and for the Lorelei Rock. Countless songs, including the Song of the Nibelungs about Siegfried the dragon slayer, have been written about this section of the river.

Modern and elegant trip on “Father Rhine” - expect bright rooms and plenty of space for your dream river cruise on our MS RHEIN SYMPHONIE. The large panorama windows guarantee the best views of the passing shoreland, and the spacious sun deck invites you to relax. In the spacious cabins, recharge your batteries for new discoveries along the great river. In the panorama restaurant, we serve exquisite specialities, whilst the bar in the panorama saloon invites you to take a drop of the good stuff.
