Rhine Cruise to Switzerland

Eight days from only £1,099. Selected departures up to September 2011.

Welcome aboard a first class river cruise ship, either the four-star MV Serenade 2, the five-star MS Swiss Emerald, or the five-star MV Royal Crown, your luxury floating hotel for the next seven nights. From the exquisite full-board cuisine to the stylish and sumptuous cabins and suites you will very soon relax as we journey south to magnificent Switzerland.

On our journey through the Rhine valley, we visit historic Koblenz where we have time to explore the old town at the confluence of both the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Next, we continue our navigation through the dramatic Rhine Gorge where the sheer valley walls tower over 400m above our heads and onto Rudesheim, where we enjoy another evening complemented with an excellent dinner on board.

As the Rhine widens and the landscape becomes less rugged, our cruise continues south, stopping in fascinating Worms and then onto medieval Speyer with its stunning Romanesque Basilica that dominates this pretty town. Next day we arrive in France at the city of Strasbourg where you enjoy a walking tour of the old town. Continuing, we drive through the typical rolling tree-clad massif of the Black Forest onto the charming town of Titisee, nestling on the shores of its namesake lake.

Our final destination is Switzerland where we moor in Basel. We have included an amazing tour to magnificent Lucerne, Switzerland’s most attractive city and then into the dramatic Bernese Oberland and some of the world’s finest alpine scenery. See the magnificent Eiger and enjoy a stroll round Interlaken, nestled between crystal clear lakes and situated in the shadow of the Jungfrau. A just and fitting finale, to a most relaxing and enjoyable river cruise experience.
