About This Trip

Journey through some of Europe’s most picturesque landscapes and culturally rich cities on a trip along the river Rhine. We kick off this tour in bustling Amsterdam, where you can explore its iconic canals, charming gabled houses, and vibrant cultural scene. Once onboard your river cruiser, you will pass through the scenic waterways of the Netherlands, dotted with windmills, before entering Germany and approaching your first major stop: Cologne.

 

Cologne, one of Germany's oldest cities, is renowned for its stunning Gothic architecture, especially the towering Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dominates the skyline. Germany, as seen from the deck of your cruise provides endless scenes of natural wonder, as you switch from wide-open vistas to steep hillsides, rushing down to the banks for the river, their slopes lined with impossible-seeming vineyards.

 

Further downstream, the journey leads into the heart of Alsace and Strasbourg, a city that beautifully blends French and German influences. Strasbourg’s historic old town, known as La Petite France, is a maze of medieval half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets. The Strasbourg Cathedral, with its intricate façade and astronomical clock, is a highlight of the city, offering both history and beauty. From Strasbourg, the journey continues towards Basel, Switzerland, passing through the stunning Rhine Gorge and some of the most breathtaking scenery in Europe, making this river cruise a truly unforgettable experience.

 

From the moment you are welcomed aboard by the captain and crew, you will be made to feel part of a family. With all meals included while your cruising and all but premium drinks included with meals, you will be able to relax and enjoy the best of the regional gastronomy, while soaking up some local entertainment, or standing out on the deck and watching the beauty of Europe gently glide by.

highlights

This trip is filled with natural beauty, sailing past some sites that will stick in the memory for a long time. However, the things we love the most on this trip are the cities. Strasbourg is a real hidden gem of Europe, not one of France’s big-ticket cities, but after visiting you will wonder why. Its vast network of canals and rivers crisscross the city, lined by traditional, pastel-coloured Alsatian buildings. There are some quite stunning places to visit in Strasbourg, including the virtually unknown Palais Rohan, which some call mini-Versailles. 

 

Climbing to the top of Cologne’s majestic cathedral for panoramic views is a must, as is a stroll along the energetic riverside promenade. The city also boasts a rich cultural scene, with world-class museums like the Ludwig Museum, which houses a vast collection of modern art, and historic breweries offering a taste of the local Kölsch beer. The city’s lively atmosphere, combined with its mix of history and modernity, makes it an essential stop along the Rhine.

 

Amsterdam has similarities in that it is replete with waterways, but it offers a whole different feel. Relaxed and easy-going, the Dutch residents will be more than happy to welcome you to their city, whether you are visiting the multitude of incredible museums, heading out to visit the windmills and tulip fields or simply ambling along its rustic canal-lined streets.
