A dreamy cruise through central European beauty on and around the Rhine, brimming with cultural riches – includes flights, full board and more

Highlights

  • Sailing through the picturesque scenery of the enchanting Upper Rhine region from Amsterdam or Basel
  • Plumbing the depths of UNESCO-listed historical towns on guided tours
  • Returning to decadent comfort and cuisine after a day of adventure
     

Step aboard your intimate, state-of-the-art river cruiser and wind towards Germany’s Black Forest region, through the dramatically beautiful Rhine Gorge and into the lush landscape of Holland’s Waterland. In whichever direction you take the cruise, you'll lap up the shifting landscapes of old, fairy tale Europe from the vantage point of your intimately-stylish ship. Prepare to disembark and discover several UNESCO-listed gems, including the half-timbered charm of Strasbourg’s old town, Heidelberg - a certified City of Literature - and Amsterdam’s iconic canal labyrinth.

Along the way you'll be able to make the trip your own with a range of included excursions to pick from - choose to whistle past picturesque scenes on bike tours, embark on exhilarating hikes, learn more with informative walking tours and enjoy a magical evening concert, all before heading back onboard for some pleasant R&R as you drift along the scenic course of your holiday.

Please note that your itinerary will vary depending on your embarkation point. 31.05.25 and 26.07.25 departures will embark at Amsterdam. All other departures will embark at Basel.
