Primus-Linie
About
The Primus‑Linie – a proud heritage of the Nauheimer family – has been making river journeys a part of Frankfurt’s cultural life since 1880. Today, the fleet of five pristine boats sails the Main, Rhine and Neckar, offering guests everything from relaxed sightseeing cruises around the city’s skyline to themed evening events such as the famed Winterzauber, Midnight Dinner and sparkling Rhine in Flames fireworks. Passengers can choose 50‑minute or 100‑minute city tours, day trips to nearby towns, or special cruises that feature live music, gourmet meals and themed storytelling. With a focus on accessibility, animal‑friendly policies and the option for digital or print‑at‑home tickets, Primus‑Linie is a full‑spectrum entertainment platform that invites solo travelers, couples, families, history buffs and food lovers alike to experience Frankfurt from a fresh, floating perspective.
