Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Monday - Jul 22, 2024

Zurich, Switzerland

Arrive at Zurich Airport. If your cruise includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to The Dolder Grand Hotel. Perched like a castle on the hill above Zurich, this hotel offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy its many bars and dining venues, excellent spa, or nature trails. And with its own funicular, private cars, and shuttle services, it's as convenient a location for exploration as any in the city center.

Day 2 - Tuesday - Jul 23, 2024

Zurich, Switzerland

As Switzerland's financial capital, Zurich boasts the highest population in the country. Yet, while it rivals any other European metropolis, the city also has a unique charm. Historic and modern architecture mingle in the streets, all set on the shores of an expansive lake against a background of snow-capped alps.

Day 3 - Wednesday - Jul 24, 2024

Day 4 - Thursday - Jul 25, 2024

Breisach, Germany

Breisach is often referred to as the gateway to the Black Forest, which you will venture into on today's excursion.

Day 5 - Friday - Jul 26, 2024

Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg is invariably described as quaint, with its cobbled lanes, half-timbered homes, giant stork nests, and impossible-to-resist pastry shops. While we're docked here today, make sure to get out and explore this charming town-but you won't want to miss our day trip to the blissful spa town of Baden-Baden.

Day 6 - Saturday - Jul 27, 2024

Mainz, Germany

Offenbach, Germany

Your day in Mainz includes a visit to one of Germany's most stunning locales: Heidelberg.

Day 7 - Sunday - Jul 28, 2024

Miltenberg, Germany

The perfect German town calls for a day full of quintessential German experiences. Resting on the left bank of the Main, Miltenberg is classically quaint with its charming squares, farmland, biking and pedestrian paths, impressive castles, and one of Germany's oldest inns.

Day 8 - Monday - Jul 29, 2024

Wurzburg, Germany

The opulent Wurzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a true sense of the region's history through the European Renaissance. It even contains the world's largest ceiling fresco by Tiepolo. Visit the Residence and its carefully restored gardens or get outdoors and enjoy a scenic hike around Festung Marienberg, a prominent landmark that was previously home to a long line of prince-bishops.

Day 9 - Tuesday - Jul 30, 2024

Bamberg, Germany

Bamberg in its entirety is not only described as beautiful but has often been regarded as one of Germany's most attractive settlements, with its picturesque architecture, intersecting canals and rivers, and charming stores and restaurants, all framed by rolling hills.

Day 10 - Wednesday - Jul 31, 2024

Nuremberg, Germany

Disembark the ship. If your cruise package includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Nuremberg Airport for your flight home.
