Further along the Rhine River Cruise itinerary, the vineyards of Rüdesheim roll down to meet the water, promising a taste of Germany's wine country. This town exudes character at every turn, from the timber-framed houses and flower boxes spilling with colour to the cheerful sounds of music drifting from wine taverns.

Crossing into France, the European river cruise itinerary brings you to Strasbourg, a city that dances between two cultures. Its canals glisten under timber-framed houses, and La Petite France feels like a scene from a fairytale. On a guided walking tour of the old town, discover the stunning medieval architecture including the famous cathedral that towers above it all, a Gothic marvel whose spire seems to pierce the clouds. Sample a taste of the region including some local cheeses and sweets as you enjoy the contrasting blend of French and German heritage.

Although not directly located on the Rhine, our premium Rhine River Cruise takes you deeper into Germany's soul with a journey to the enchanting Black Forest.
