About this cruise
Rhine
The cruise begins in Basel, where Switzerland reveals its cultural richness. The Gothic cathedral, modern museums, and charming old town frame the serene flow of the Rhine.
The first stop is Breisach, a picturesque town on the Upper Rhine. St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises above vineyards and the rolling hills of the Kaiserstuhl.
In Strasbourg, French elegance meets German tradition. The magnificent cathedral, the canals of “La Petite France,” and timber-framed houses create a unique atmosphere in the Alsace region.
Sailing north, the ship reaches Mannheim, where the Rhine borders the city of squares, with its vast baroque palace and modern architecture.
A highlight is Rüdesheim, set among steep vineyards of the Rheingau. The lively Drosselgasse offers wine and music, while the cable car to the Niederwald Monument provides panoramic views of the Rhine Valley.
In Koblenz, the Moselle joins the Rhine at the Deutsches Eck, overlooked by the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The scenery of rivers and vineyards is breathtaking.
Cologne impresses with its iconic Gothic cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old town, riverside promenade, and the Hohenzollern Bridge define the city’s vibrant skyline.
Finally, the Rhine broadens into lowlands on the way to Amsterdam. Canals, merchant houses, and world-class museums await. A canal cruise under evening lights offers the perfect finale to this cultural and scenic journey.
