Highlights along the Rhine river
As one of Europe's most popular rivers, these are the main highlights you can expect along the Rhine
Amsterdam
As a starting point or end point for your Rhine cruise, Amsterdam has so much to offer. Our Cruise specialists recommend at least a 3-Night stay
Strasbourg
A French city with beautiful old timber buildings and a distinct blend of both French & German cultures
Koblenz
Koblenz is the site of the Deutsches Eck (German Corner), this is where the Rhine meets the Moselle River
Rudesheim am Rhein
Rudesheim am Rhein is a pretty wine town featuring the lively Drosselgasse lane and is the perfect spot for the local Riesling tastings
Cologne
One our favourite cities, Cologne is home to the famous twin spired Gothic Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge
Castles on the Rhine
The Rhine has no shortage of castles, and a river cruise makes the best viewing position to see the best of them
When is the Best time to cruise on the Rhine?
We love spring time, April - May, the temperatures are milder and the spring flowers are in bloom. June - August offers hot weather, lively festivals and long daylight hours.
September - October brings Autumn colours and all the activity of the grape harvest along the Rhine. November - December means Christmas markets, beautifully decorated towns and twinkling lights
Rhine River Cruises during Tulip Season
Combining your Rhine River cruise with Tulip Season dates (March - April) will add an incredible bonus to your trip as the Netherlands literally burst with colour over this time. Most river cruise lines will include a visit to the legendary Keukenhof gardens where Windmills and Tulips provide the backdrop for the best Selfies ever!
