DISCOVER MAINZ WITH CELEBRITY RIVER CRUISES
Cruising into Mainz with Celebrity River Cruises, the Rhine leads you into a city that blends history, creativity, and warmth with effortless charm. Begin your journey at the grand Mainz Cathedral, its Romanesque architecture standing tall since 975 AD, anchoring the city’s skyline and spirit. Just steps away, Kirschgarten square delights with its half-timbered houses and cobbled lanes, a postcard of eras past brought to life.
In local markets and boutique shops, Mainz’s bohemian energy is unmistakable, offering handcrafted goods and artful keepsakes that tell a personal story. At the table, Spundekäs — a tangy cheese spread served with fresh bread or pretzels — introduces you to the region’s comforting flavors, best paired with a crisp glass of Müller-Thurgau wine from the surrounding vineyards. To understand Mainz is to explore the legacy of Gutenberg himself, whose printing press changed the world and whose museum keeps that spirit alive. Mainz leaves an imprint, not only through its heritage, but through the way it invites you to slow down and savor what endures.
