Discover the many beautiful facets of “Father Rhine“ along 500 miles of rivers from Amsterdam in the Netherlands through Germany and France to Basel, Switzerland or vica versa. Pass through the Dutch Ijsselmeer on the way to the cathedral city of Cologne.
Take a detour along the winding Moselle River, with its blossoming vineyards tucked on each side of the valley. Delight in the panorama of the myth-enshrouded Middle Rhine Valley with its high concentration of castles nestled on sunny hillsides around every bend, and the fabled Lorelei — siren of the Rhine. Visit quintessential wine villages as well as the one of Germany‘s oldest cities — Speyer. Visit Strasbourg, the capital city of the Grand Est region (formerly Alsace) before ending in Basel, located at the three countries corner of France, Germany and Switzerland.
Please note, some sailings operate in the opposite direction from Basel to Amsterdam - please call for details.
