Step one

Choose your sailing

It's a fly-cruise, so the price moves with the airport you fly from — and the cheapest airport isn't the same one every week. Choose your airport, then a date to see the cabins on board.

About this cruise

Rhine

Your journey begins in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, which delights with its canals, museums and historical charm. From here, the cruise leads northwards through the vast landscapes of the Netherlands. In Enkhuizen and Lemmer, you will experience the maritime heritage of the IJsselmeer, before Groningen impresses with its lively culture and historic old town. Via Leer and Papenburg, you continue through the Frisian inland with its typical waterways and locks. In Oldenburg and Bremerhaven, North German flair awaits you, characterized by maritime history and a modern harbour atmosphere. The final stop in Bremen, with its impressive old town and famous market square, is the atmospheric highlight of this varied journey between Holland and northern Germany.
