Adventure Cruises in Heidelberg
Although not situated directly on the Rhine, Heidelberg is a popular excursion destination for passengers from nearby ports such as Mannheim and Speyer. Known for its enchanting old town, Heidelberg offers visitors a chance to explore the iconic Heidelberg Castle, perched dramatically on the hillside, and the prestigious Heidelberg University, one of the oldest in Europe. River cruise passengers along the Rhine often disembark for guided tours through the city's cobblestone streets, visiting historical landmarks like the Karl Theodor Bridge (Old Bridge) and the Church of the Holy Spirit, all while soaking in the scenic views of the Neckar River.
