Rhine river cruises will call at historic cities such as Bamberg, Würzburg, and Koblenz, as well as smaller villages and towns such as Mainz, Koblenz and Rüdesheim with its impressive castle. One of the highlights of many Rhine river cruises is sailing along the Rhine gorge to view the historic and famous Rhine castles, which tower majestically over the vineyards along the backs of the Rhine. Another popular feature of many Rhine river cruises is seeing the famous Lorelei Rock, which rises to over 130 metres. Legend has it that a siren named "Lorelei" once sat atop the rock and lured sailors to their doom by singing sweet songs and lullabies.
