Cruise the Rhine to Switzerland

Its renown is no surprise since our border-hopping route wends its way through the romantic Rhine Gorge of Germany, the scenic Alsace region of France and into the northern mountain slopes of Switzerland. From our cruise ship we see countless magical castles perched on the hillsides, romantic Rhineland towns and villages with their half-timbered buildings as well as pretty river tributaries rushing to meet the mighty Rhine. After the steep vine-covered slopes of the dramatic Rhine Gorge, the Rhine's waters broaden, the climate warms and the land flattens out slightly to reveal the lush Rhine Plains. Along the river's western shores lay the gentler rolling hills of France's Alsace region; whilst across on the opposite eastern banks, the wooded hills of Germany's Black Forest beckon us with its enchanting scenery, proud traditions, cuckoo clocks and black forest gateaux. Our coach excursions in Switzerland simply provide the icing on the cake to our sumptuous cruise, where we view the mightiest waterfalls in central Europe and drive through the Jura Mountains to visit the picture-postcard resort of Lucerne. Wunderbar!
