Oktoberfest 2024

[Lindancer]

Anyone know of a river cruise (or other cruise) that also takes people to Munich for Oktoberfest?  The only one I can find is with Tauck and the price is WAY out of my range.

Thanks in advance.

I have had a quick look at European companies but could not find anything satisfactory. This article deals with 2025 but perhaps you can take it from there. The company Scenic: https://www.travelmarketreport.com/NicheLuxury/articles/Scenic-Opens-New-2025-River-Cruise-Itineraries-Excursions-and-Extensions

 

I searched for river cruise Munich extension.

You could try cruisemapper and selecting Munich before selecting the month to access ship/boat calls and their dates..

Rremember that for Octoberfest you will need to check dates in both September and October as there can be more days which fall into September than fall into October (despite the name)

A lot of river cruise companies do offer a pre/post cruise extension to Munich. I can see the Viking buses quite often here in town. I´m pretty sure that AmaWaterways and Uniworld are offering this too.

The biggest surprise for me when booking a trip to Munich (and trying to MISS Oktoberfest) was the fact that Octoberfest starts in September!!  😲  We were there mid-September and just missed the opening (and the increase in hotel rates...)

Hi,

I don't know of an actual river cruise. But, Princess cruises are doing a 12 night roundtrip from Southampton here in the UK
