Port information & tips for Regensburg
Regensburg is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany and a brilliant highlight of any Danube cruise. The Bavarian metropolis at the northernmost point of the river delights with its UNESCO World Heritage flair, charming alleys, and a vibrant history that dates back to Roman times. Indispensable highlights include the famous Steinerne Brücke, the Gothic Regensburger Dom St. Peter, and the historic Wurstkuchl, the oldest sausage kitchen in the world. Cruise ships usually dock at the central berths at the Donaumarkt or the Marc-Aurel-Ufer, meaning the picturesque old town is just a few minutes' walk away thanks to the excellent location, inviting you to discover and enjoy it immediately.
Regensburg, as a picturesque Danube departure port, is excellently accessible for cruise guests from the DACH region. The berths for river cruises are located close to the center and, thanks to short distances to the Old Town, are ideal for a relaxed start to your journey.
Car
You can reach Regensburg directly via the A3 (from the direction of Nürnberg/Passau) and A93 (from the direction of Munich/Hof) motorways. The city center is well signposted. For those looking for parking, several public, paid parking options are available near the harbor, including the Parkhaus Dachauplatz (D.-Martin-Luther-Straße 2) as well as the Wöhrdstraße and Unterer Wöhrd parking lots, each only about 5 to 10 minutes' walk from the berths.
Train
Regensburg Central Station (Regensburg Hbf) is an important railway hub with good ICE and regional train connections. From there, you can easily reach the centrally located berths in about 15 to 20 minutes on foot or by bus. Numerous bus lines such as 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 12, 13 or 17 run from the central station (Albertstraße stop) to stops such as "Haus der bayerischen Geschichte", "Eiserne Brücke" or "Thundorferstraße", which are in the immediate vicinity of the ships.
Airplane
The nearest major airport is Munich (MUC), approximately 77 to 85 kilometers from Regensburg. From there, the regional airport express (ÜFEX) offers a convenient, hourly direct connection to Regensburg Central Station in about 1 hour 15 minutes. Alternatively, various shuttle services such as airportLiner or private transfer services are available to take you directly from the airport to the port. Nürnberg Airport (NUE) is also an option, about 90 to 110 kilometers away, with train connections to Regensburg Central Station.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
