Overview
7-night from Basel to Amsterdam
Your time in Strasbourg, Mainz and Amsterdam brings the Rhine’s stories into focus. In Strasbourg, choose from locally guided tours, enriched by an onshore dinner that highlights the unique flavors of the Alsace region. Throughout the journey, wander half-timbered streets and canal districts that reveal something new around each turn.What's Included
- Settle into your City Escapes river cruise in Basel. You’ll appreciate the easy start, familiar comforts on board and flexible choices ashore that set the tone for longer port stays.
- Spend the day around Breisach with options that fit your style. Head to Colmar for colorful streets and the Bartholdi Museum, visit the charming town of Staufen im Breisgau in the foothills of the Black Forest for a tour and wine tasting, or choose an active visit to Château du Haut‑Koenigsbourg with hilltop views.
- Follow your curiosity through Strasbourg today. Wander half‑timbered towns on guided walking tour or take in the city from the gentle rhythm of your bike. Later, an onshore dinner invites you to savor regional dishes in a setting full of local character.
- Arrive in Ludwigshafen and set out for nearby highlights. Choose Heidelberg for a tour of its imposing castle and a wine tasting, or visit Speyer’s Technik Museum, dedicated to transportation technologies throughout the decades.
- Spot the castles along the Rhine Gorge this morning. Spend the afternoon your way: see Chagall windows and Gutenberg history; focus on Roman Mainz or Jewish heritage; craft a personalized pretzel; or explore the city on two wheels.
- Today brings Cologne’s cathedral skyline, riverfront walkways and distinctive neighborhoods. Join a guided walk with a tasting of crisp, golden Reibekuchen, explore the city’s striking architecture or breeze through the city on a bike tour.
- Cruise into Amsterdam, then enjoy your afternoon with a flavorful culinary walking tour or a hands‑on flower arranging workshop.
