DCS river cruises in 2026

In the new cruise season, we will cruise the most beautiful rivers for you again!

Experience the Danube, Rhine and Moselle on a variety-packed river cruise. Fantastic routes with exciting excursions, an elegant and comfortable atmosphere and a great time on the river and ashore await you.

Imposing metropolises, breathtaking natural monuments and dreamlike landscapes await you along the queen of rivers, the Danube. On the second longest river in Europe, we invite you on board the elegant and comfortable new addition to our fleet, the DCS Amethyst 1. We start in the three-river city of Passau and set off with you on great journeys! Among other things, we will reach Vienna, the most liveable city in the world, Budapest, the most beautiful city in Eastern Europe and Bratislava, a modern and cultural centre. One highlight is definitely the Iron Gate, which impresses with its captivating force of nature.

We will also be welcoming you to a new ship on the Rhine and Moselle: the elegant and charmingly cosy DCS Amethyst 2 awaits you in Cologne. From the cathedral city, you can discover towns with a rich history such as Rüdesheim or Koblenz with the "Deutsches Eck". Picturesque vineyards, magnificent castles and probably the most beautiful river bend in Germany, the Saar Loop - there is plenty to see here. A little further along the Rhine is the Dutch capital Amsterdam, the Belgian harbour city of Antwerp or the IJsselmeer with its beautiful sandy beaches. You will find relaxation on the picturesque North Sea island of Texel with its abundance of flora and fauna.

Celebrate with us on board - whatever the time of year. Enjoy spending the festive season on our ships and experience romantic Advent markets, contemplative Christmas parties and impressive firework displays along the Danube, Rhine and Moselle. Even if you only want to celebrate for one evening and get a feel for a river cruise, we have just the perfect choice for you with our Sail-Away parties.
